Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Symptoms in Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders / Kate JOHNSTON in Autism Research, 6-4 (August 2013)

To date, there has been a lack of research comparing attention in adults with ASD and adults with ADHD. In study 1, 31 adults with ASD and average intellectual function completed self-report measures of ADHD symptoms. These were compared with self-report measures of ADHD symptoms in 38 adults with ADHD and 29 general population controls. In study 2, 28 adults with a diagnosis of ASD were compared with an age- and intelligence quotient-matched sample of 28 adults with ADHD across a range of measures of attention. Study 1 showed that 36.7% of adults with ASD met Diagnostic and Statistical Manual-IV criteria for current ADHD “caseness” (Barkley Current self-report scores questionnaire). Those with a diagnosis of pervasive developmental disorder—not otherwise specified were most likely to describe ADHD symptoms. The ASD group differed significantly from both the ADHD and control groups on total and individual symptom self-report scores. On neuropsychological testing, adults with ASD and ADHD showed comparable performance on tests of selective attention. Significant group differences were seen on measures of attentional switching; adults with ADHD were significantly faster and more inaccurate, and individuals with Asperger's syndrome showed a significantly slower and more accurate response style. Self-reported rates of ADHD among adults with ASD are significantly higher than in the general adult population and may be underdiagnosed. Adults with ASD have attentional difficulties on some neuropsychological measures.

Feasibility Study of a Novel App-Based Anxiety Intervention for Autistic People / Bethany OAKLEY in Autism Research, 19-1 (January 2026)

However, reasons for elevated rates of anxiety in autism remain poorly understood and there is a high unmet need for novel and adapted therapies for anxiety that are accessible to autistic people. This study aimed to establish the feasibility of a novel app-based anxiety management tool (?Molehill Mountain?) that has been developed with, and adapted for, autistic people. A single-centre, single-arm feasibility study design was employed, whereby autistic people (≥?16?years) with mild-to-severe symptoms of anxiety were recruited to a 13-week intervention period (King's College London, UK; clinicaltrials.gov identifier NCT05302167). Of 123 prospective participants screened, 100 (81%) participants aged 16?74?years (n?=?69 female) were enrolled within approximately 15 months. n?=?76 (76%) completed an anxiety measure at ~15?weeks (Generalized Anxiety Disorder?7 Item Scale; GAD-7). Most adhered to the full intervention duration: 65% (n?=?47), with most using the app weekly (1?6?days per week; 58%). 73% of participants agreed that they found the app easy to use overall and that an app is a good format for offering anxiety support to autistic people. There was a significant reduction in self-reported anxiety symptom severity with mean difference 2.88 (95% CI 1.88, 3.89; p?
