“…This suggests that the reduced emotion recognition measured by RME captures a state effect. This hypothesis is corroborated by findings of normal RME performance in young persons with recent‐onset AN (Bentz et al, ). On the other hand, two studies in this review using other measures of ToM in nonclinical children and adults (including the ability to recognize FP situations) reported significant associations with problematic eating behaviours.…”

“…While a standardised developmental measure such as the 3Di was not used, according to a clinical interview, no participant was given a diagnosis of ASD. The other study [41••] aimed to compare social functioning in participants with first-episode, recent onset (within 12 months of participating) AN with those recovered from the disorder. Despite a previous diagnosis of ASD being ruled out, 16 and 21% of individuals respectively scored above cut-off on the ADOS-2.…”

Purpose of ReviewThere is growing interest in the relationship between anorexia nervosa (AN) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This review aimed to synthesise the most recent research on this topic to identify gaps in current knowledge, directions for future research and reflect on implications for treatment.Recent FindingsEight studies assessing the presence of ASD in AN were identified in the literature along with three studies examining the impact of symptoms of ASD on treatment outcome. Research with young people and using parental-report measures suggest lower rates of co-morbidity than previous adult studies.ConclusionsThe wide range of diagnostic tools, methodologies and populations studied make it difficult to determine the prevalence of ASD in AN. Despite this, studies consistently report over-representation of symptoms of ASD in AN. Co-morbid AN and ASD may require more intensive treatment or specifically tailored interventions. Future longitudinal research and female-specific diagnostic tools would help elucidate the relationship between these two disorders.

“…[50] All ADOS observations were performed by the same researcher, who met the standard requirement for research reliability of ADOS administration, while assessing interrater reliability against an expert in a random sample of cases based on video recordings.

“…[25,26] A review also confirmed impaired odor identification in individuals with autism spectrum disorder, a disorder characterized by impairment of social function. [27] Although subgroups of individuals with AN repeatedly have shown impaired social function,[28–30] potential associations with aspects of olfaction in AN remain unexplored.…”

IntroductionOlfaction may be related to food restriction and weight loss. However, reports regarding olfactory function in individuals with anorexia nervosa (AN) have been inconclusive.ObjectiveCharacterize olfactory sensitivity and identification in female adolescents and young adults with first-episode AN and young females recovered from AN.MethodsWe used the Sniffin’ Sticks Odor Threshold Test and Odor Identification Test to assess 43 participants with first-episode AN, 27 recovered participants, and 39 control participants. Participants completed the Importance of Olfaction questionnaire, the Beck Youth Inventory and the Eating Disorder Inventory. We also conducted a psychiatric diagnostic interview and the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule with participants.ResultsBoth clinical groups showed heightened olfactory sensitivity. After excluding participants with depression, participants with first-episode AN identified more odors than recovered participants.ConclusionHeightened olfactory sensitivity in AN may be independent of clinical status, whereas only individuals with current AN and without depression show more accurate odor identification.

Impairment of Social Function in Young Females With Recent-Onset Anorexia Nervosa and Recovered Individuals

Abstract: Young females with first-episode AN and those recovered from AN displayed impairments in social function, which may represent more stable traits of the disorder. Only participants recovered from AN demonstrated deficits in social cognition.
