This is mirrored in clinical practice where ASD without coexisting disorders is rare. The present study aims to examine the range of coexisting disorders in ASD in a genetically informative cohort. Methods Parents of all Swedish 9-year-old twins born between 1992 and 2001 (n = 19,130) underwent a telephone interview designed to screen for child psychiatric disorders, including ASD. To ensure full coverage of child psychiatric disorders, data were also retrieved from population-based health registers. We investigated the coexistence of eight psychiatric disorders known to coexist with ASDs in probands and their co-twins. Results Half of the individuals with ASDs (50.3%) had four or more coexisting disorders and only 4% did not have any concomitant disorder. The ‘healthy co-twin’ in ASD discordant monozygotic twin pairs was very often (79% of boys and 50% of girls) affected by at least one non-ASD disorder. The corresponding figures for ASD discordant dizygotic twin pairs were significantly lower (46% of males and 30% of females). Conclusions Detailed phenotypic descriptions including symptoms of problems associated with a wide range of child psychiatric disorders may aid in unraveling the genetic architecture of ASD and should guide the development of intervention strategies addressing each problem type specifically.

Childhood Neurodevelopmental Disorders and Violent Criminality: A Sibling Control Study / Sebastian LUNDSTROM in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 44-11 (November 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 44-11 (November 2014) . - p.2707-2716 Titre : Childhood Neurodevelopmental Disorders and Violent Criminality: A Sibling Control Study Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sebastian LUNDSTROM, Auteur ; Mats FORSMAN, Auteur ; Henrik LARSSON, Auteur ; Nora KEREKES, Auteur ; Eva SERLACHIUS, Auteur ; Niklas LANGSTROM, Auteur ; Paul LICHTENSTEIN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2707-2716 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorders  Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder  Neurodevelopmental disorders  Criminality  Familial confounding Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The longitudinal relationship between attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and violent criminality has been extensively documented, while long-term effects of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), tic disorders (TDs), and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) on criminality have been scarcely studied. Using population-based registers of all child and adolescent mental health services in Stockholm, we identified 3,391 children, born 1984–1994, with neurodevelopmental disorders, and compared their risk for subsequent violent criminality with matched controls. Individuals with ADHD or TDs were at elevated risk of committing violent crimes, no such association could be seen for ASDs or OCD. ADHD and TDs are risk factors for subsequent violent criminality, while ASDs and OCD are not associated with violent criminality.
