“…This research indicated there is a significant relationship between depression and broader autism phenotype in men. This result is consistent with earlier findings [7,[17][18][19]. In order to explain these findings it should be noted that some researchers believe the cause of the depression in people with HFASD is increased awareness of their deficit in interaction and communication with others [35].…”

“…Additionally, many depressive symptoms, including tearfulness and sadness [13], decreased self-care [14], psychomotor retardation [15], apathy, anhedonia, and loss of interest in activities [16] which are common in the general population are likely to be observed in people with comorbid ASD. The rate of depression in ASD is as high as 34 per cent [13] and the relationship between depression and autism has been confirmed in some in western studeis [7,[17][18][19]. However, a re-search showed less than 2 percent qualified for a diagnosis of major depressive disorder [20].…”

Background: Autism spectrum disorder is a lifelong disorder and impairs function of people in different fields. Researchers assert that autism characteristics can be seen in the non-clinical population. One of problems which is common in this population is depression. When depression is coupled with an ASD, it can lead to a significant decrease of well-being and influence functioning. This research is aimed at studying the relationship between autistic characteristics and depression in male participants. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Shahed University on male students. 180 questioners were distributed, but data of 120 students were appropriate to analysis. The subjects were assessed on the depression [BDI-II] and the autism-spectrum quotient [AQ]. Data were analyzed in SPSS-23 and AMOS.

ObjectivesThe current study investigated the structural relationship between autistic traits, the components of social problem-solving deficiencies and depressive-anxiety symptoms. Methods The study was conducted in 2015-2016 consisting of 336 students (male and female) with their age ranging from 18 to 35 years old. They were selected by using the convenience sampling method, and were assessed on Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ), social problem-solving (SPSI-SF), and depression and anxiety symptoms (BAI and BDI-II). For data analysis, Pearson conduct coefficient, structural equation modeling, and boot stooping methods were conducted.ResultsThe results of the analysis revealed that the deficit in social problem-solving component has an intermediary role in assessing the relationship between the severity of autistic traits, and depressionanxiety symptoms. All other hypothetical fitness indices model were in the appropriate range of positive cross-correlation (0.45≥r≥0.25) between autistic traits, problem-solving deficiencies component, and depression-anxiety, All relations were found to be statistically significant (P<0.01). Conclusion The findings from the current study provide further support to the structural relationship between the components of the problem-solving deficiencies, severity of depressive -anxiety symptoms, and autistic traits. The understanding of how they are related to depressive -anxiety symptoms will hopefully help in informing about the future attempts for adopting an effective problem-solving programs for individuals with autistic traits.

“…Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) demonstrate poorer adult outcomes [Baldwin, Costley, & Warren, ; Taylor, Henninger, & Mailick, ] and well‐being across the lifespan [Barneveld, Swaab, Fagel, van Engeland, & de Sonneville, ; Ikeda, Hinckson, & Krageloh, ; Potvin, Snider, Prelock, Wood‐Dauphinee, & Kehayia, ]. Research findings also indicate that children with ASD encounter difficulty with social relationships [Orsmond, Shattuck, Cooper, Sterzing, & Anderson, ; Orsmond, Krauss, & Seltzer, ], mental health [Ratcliffe, Wong, Dossetor, & Hayes, ; Lieb & Bohnert, ; Jackson & Dritschel, ], and emotional regulation [Richey et al, ; Cai, Richdale, Uljarevic, Dissanayake, & Samson, ; Bruggink, Huisman, Vuijk, Kraaij, & Garnefski, ]. Impairments in social competence are a core feature of ASD and include deficits in social communication and social interaction [APA, ].…”

Flourishing is an indicator of positive mental health and is important for children's development and well-being. We used variables from the National Survey of Children's Health 2016 as indicators of flourishing (difficulty making friends, is bullied, bullies others, shares ideas with family, argues, finishes tasks, does all homework, shows curiosity, stays calm, and cares about doing well in school) to compare differences in parent perceptions of their children with and without autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We anticipate that these findings will help identify intervention targets to support the well-being of individuals with ASD. Children between 6 and 17 years of age, without intellectual disability, brain injury, cerebral palsy, or Down syndrome were included. Total participants were 34,171 controls (male/female = 17,116/17,155) and 812 with ASD (male/female = 668/144). Factor analysis resulted in three-factor structures (social competence, behavioral control, and school motivation) with good model fit (root mean square error of approximation = 0.08, comparative fit index = 0.92, Tucker-Lewis index = 0.89). The multivariate regression model and propensity score with inverse probability of treatment weighting (PS-IPTW) method revealed that children with ASD had lower scores in the social competence and behavioral control factors compared to the control group (all P < 0.05). However, no significant differences were found in the school motivation factor between the two groups (P > 0.05) in both multivariate regression model and PS-IPTW method. Findings suggest that social competence and behavioral control are indicators of flourishing and are important intervention targets to increase flourishing among children with ASD. Autism Res 2019, 12: 952-966. Health 2016 to examine differences in parent perceptions of the indicators of flourishing (difficulty making friends, is bullied, bullies others, shares ideas with family, argues, finishes tasks, does all homework, shows curiosity, stays calm, and cares about doing well in school) between children with and without autism spectrum disorders (ASD). We anticipate that this information will help to identify therapeutic targets to support the well-being of individuals with ASD. Children between 6 and 17 years old, without intellectual disability (ID), brain injury (BI), cerebral palsy (CP), or Down syndrome (DS) were included. From the total (N = 50,212), we excluded children under age 6 (n = 14,494), those who once, but do not currently have ASD (n = 81), and those with ID (n = 432), BI (n = 170), CP (n = 35), and DS (n = 17), resulting in 34,983 records used. Total participants, age 6-17 years, were 34,171 controls (male/female = 17,116/17,155) and 812 with ASD (male/female = 668/144). Factor analysis resulted in the identification of three flourishing categories among the indicator variables (social competence, behavioral control, and school motivation). Children with ASD had lower scores in the social competence and behavioral control factors compared to the cont...
