Titre : Does sex influence the diagnostic evaluation of autism spectrum disorder in adults? Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : C. Ellie WILSON, Auteur ; Clodagh M. MURPHY, Auteur ; Grainne MCALONAN, Auteur ; Dene M ROBERTSON, Auteur ; Debbie SPAIN, Auteur ; Hannah HAYWARD, Auteur ; Emma WOODHOUSE, Auteur ; Quinton DEELEY, Auteur ; Nicola GILLAN, Auteur ; J Chris OHLSEN, Auteur ; Janneke ZINKSTOK, Auteur ; Vladimira STOENCHEVA, Auteur ; Jessica FAULKNER, Auteur ; Hatice YILDIRAN, Auteur ; Vaughan BELL, Auteur ; Neil HAMMOND, Auteur ; Michael C. CRAIG, Auteur ; Declan GM MURPHY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.808-819 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorder diagnosis females males sex differences Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : It is unknown whether sex influences the diagnostic evaluation of autism spectrum disorder, or whether male and female adults within the spectrum have different symptom profiles. This study reports sex differences in clinical outcomes for 1244 adults (935 males and 309 females) referred for autism spectrum disorder assessment. Significantly, more males (72%) than females (66%) were diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder of any subtype (x2?=?4.09; p?=?0.04). In high-functioning autism spectrum disorder adults (IQ?>?70; N?=?827), there were no significant sex differences in severity of socio-communicative domain symptoms. Males had significantly more repetitive behaviours/restricted interests than females (p?=?0.001, d?=?0.3). A multivariate analysis of variance indicated a significant interaction between autism spectrum disorder subtype (full-autism spectrum disorder/partial-autism spectrum disorder) and sex: in full-autism spectrum disorder, males had more severe socio-communicative symptoms than females; for partial-autism spectrum disorder, the reverse was true. There were no sex differences in prevalence of co-morbid psychopathologies. Sex influenced diagnostic evaluation in a clinical sample of adults with suspected autism spectrum disorder. The sexes may present with different manifestations of the autism spectrum disorder phenotype and differences vary by diagnostic subtype. Understanding and awareness of adult female repetitive behaviours/restricted interests warrant attention and sex-specific diagnostic assessment tools may need to be considered.

Titre : The mental health of individuals referred for assessment of autism spectrum disorder in adulthood: A clinic report Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Ailsa J RUSSELL, Auteur ; Clodagh M. MURPHY, Auteur ; Ellie WILSON, Auteur ; Nicola GILLAN, Auteur ; Cordelia BROWN, Auteur ; Dene M ROBERTSON, Auteur ; Michael C. CRAIG, Auteur ; Quinton DEELEY, Auteur ; Janneke ZINKSTOK, Auteur ; Kate JOHNSTON, Auteur ; Grainne M MCALONAN, Auteur ; Deborah SPAIN, Auteur ; Declan GM MURPHY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.623-627 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorders psychiatric co-morbidity Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Growing awareness of autism spectrum disorders has increased the demand for diagnostic services in adulthood. High rates of mental health problems have been reported in young people and adults with autism spectrum disorder. However, sampling and methodological issues mean prevalence estimates and conclusions about specificity in psychiatric co-morbidity in autism spectrum disorder remain unclear. A retrospective case review of 859 adults referred for assessment of autism spectrum disorder compares International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision diagnoses in those that met criteria for autism spectrum disorder (n?=?474) with those that did not (n?=?385). Rates of psychiatric diagnosis (>57%) were equivalent across both groups and exceeded general population rates for a number of conditions. The prevalence of anxiety disorders, particularly obsessive compulsive disorder, was significantly higher in adults with autism spectrum disorder than adults without autism spectrum disorder. Limitations of this observational clinic study, which may impact generalisability of the findings, include the lack of standardised structured psychiatric diagnostic assessments by assessors blind to autism spectrum disorder diagnosis and inter-rater reliability. The implications of this study highlight the need for careful consideration of mental health needs in all adults referred for autism spectrum disorder diagnosis.
