“…We refer to two viewpoints described in the recent literature that may aid in the interpretation of our findings. Mandy ( 2017 ) suggested a moderating role of autistic traits in the development of non-autistic psychopathology, which is, for example, apparent when a lack of mentalizing abilities and empathy may lead to the escalation of Oppositional Defiant Disorder traits into later antisocial behavior. From a transdiagnostic perspective, Van Os and Guloksuz ( 2017 ) hypothesized, in their critique of the “ultra high risk paradigm” (according to which the presence of psychotic experiences in youth pose a risk a for transition to schizophrenia), that psychotic experiences can be present in varying degrees as an early expression of nonspecific, multidimensional psychopathology.…”

We compared the presence of autistic and comorbid psychopathology and functional impairments in young adults who received a clinical diagnosis of Pervasive Developmental Disorders Not Otherwise Specified or Asperger's Disorder during childhood to that of a referred comparison group. While the Autism Spectrum Disorder group on average scored higher on a dimensional ASD self-and other-report measure than clinical controls, the majority did not exceed the ASD cutoff according to the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule. Part of the individuals with an ASD diagnosis in their youth no longer show behaviors that underscribe a clinical ASD diagnosis in adulthood, but have subtle difficulties in social functioning and a vulnerability for a range of other psychiatric disorders.

While knowledge about symptom presentation of adults with mild ASD, including comorbid psychopathology, is limited, referral of adults with suspected mildPDD is increasing. We report on pilot research investigating whether patients diagnosed with mild ASD (n = 15) and patients who were not diagnosed with ASD (n = 21) differed in terms of (a) AQ scores and (b) Axis I and II disorders, assessed by the SCAN and the IPDE. Additionally, AQ scores were compared with those from non-ASD patients referred to a general outpatient clinic (n = 369). The results showed very few differences between ASD patients and non-ASD patients. Self-report may not differentiate mild ASD patients from non-ASD patients and Axis I and II disorders seem equally prevalent among these two groups.
