“…Kanai et al (2011) found that with adults with Asperger's syndrome had higher total scores of social anxiety and also had higher scores on the subscales of "fear of anxiety" and avoidance. Matson et al (2009a) found that psychopathology symptoms, in particular impulse and mania, were associated with negative social behaviors and positive verbal and nonverbal social skills in adults with ASD and intellectual disability. Rosbrook and Whittingham (2010) found that social problem-solving ability was a significant mediator in the relationships between autistic traits and anxiety and depressive symptoms of adults in the general population.…”

Matson and Nebel-Schwalm (Research in Developmental Disabilities 28(4) [341][342][343][344][345][346][347][348][349][350][351][352] 2007) conducted an overview of comorbid psychopathology with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in children. The purpose of the current paper is to expand on Matson and Nebel-Schwalm (Research in Developmental Disabilities 28(4) [341][342][343][344][345][346][347][348][349][350][351][352] 2007) by discussing the relationship between comorbid psychopathology in ASD and other variables. The current paper will include research across the lifespan, from babies and toddlers to children, adolescents, and adults. Topics explored are the prevalence of comorbid psychological disorders, the importance of studying comorbid psychopathology, as well as the measures used to assess comorbid psychopathology in ASD. Research on the relationships between comorbid psychopathology in ASD and parental and sibling stress and well-being, developmental regression, language and communication, adaptive behavior, social skills, autism severity, challenging behavior, gastrointestinal symptoms, sleep problems, epilepsy, sensory issues, and quality of life is also discussed. Age-related variations in comorbid psychopathology are also examined. Finally, recommendations for treatment are given as well as areas where future research is needed.

Марина Радић Шестић УводОсобе са ометеношћу чине oко 10% светске популације или 650 милиона љу-ди, те представљају највећу мањину у свету. Сем тога, oва цифра се повећава са ра-стом популације, напретком медицине и продужењем животног века. Највећи број особа са ометеношћу, чак 80% живи у неразвијеним и земљама у развоју. Жене са ометеношћу су у неповољнијем положају, јер могу бити двоструко искључене из друштва -због полне дискриминације и дискриминације на основу своје различи-тости (ометености). Глобална стопа писмености код одраслих са ометеношћу је око 3%, односно, свега 1% код жена (World Health Organization-WHO, 2011).Широм света једно од десетеро деце се суочава са ометеношћу. Само 2-3% де-це са ометеношћу у сиромашним земљама иде у школу. Млади са ометеношћу у високом образовању су и даље занемарљиво заступљени. Већа је могућност да ће особе са ометеношћу бити жртве насиља или силовања, и мање је вероватно да ће Социолошки преглед, vol. XLVI (2012), no. 4, стр. 561-582

“…In 1977, AAMR provided a scheme for classification of intellectual disability levels. This scheme is based on the measured IQ levels that can reveal the following degrees of ID: borderline (IQ 67-83), mild mental retardation (IQ 50-66), moderate mental retardation (IQ 33-49), severe mental retardation (IQ [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] and profound mental retardation (IQ<16) (5), and it is still being used in the DSM-IV classification system.…”

“…In the international classification of diseases (ICD-10), intellectual disability is defined as the state of stopped or incomplete mental development, which is particularly characterized by cognitive dysfunction, speech, motor and social skills problems, the evaluation of which is required to set up a final diagnosis. There are four levels of ID: F70 mild (IQ 50-69), F71 moderate (IQ [35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49], F72 severe (IQ [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] and F73 profound (IQ<20). Classification group F78 (other ID) is used in the presence of sensory or other associated damages, when it is difficult or impossible to determine the degree of ID, and F79 (unspecified mental retardation) is used when there are some indicators, but not enough information to set up a final diagnosis (6).…”

This paper considers, from the theoretical point of view, the problem of diagnosing and treatment of depressive disorders in people with intellectual disability (ID), relying primarily on the results of previous researches, which stress the etiological, symptomatic, diagnostic and therapeutic specifics when it comes to depression and its correlates in this population. The interest in mental health and psychopathology of people with ID intensified during the seventh decade of the previous century, when it became clear that some cognitive and behavioral symptoms are not, as hitherto thought, only a part or a consequence of the syndrome of intellectual disability, but a sign of ongoing mental disorder. So, the idea of ''dual diagnosis'' was born, and now it provides guidelines for the growing number of studies which theoretically and empirically review different issues of mental health problems in people with ID. Likewise, the observation of syndrome groups of genetic disorders resulting in intellectual disability has led to the narrowing of the circle of genetic syndromes that carry increased risk for the onset of depression and its correlates, such as: Down syndrome, Fragile X syndrome and Prader-Willi syndrome. Potential diagnostic problem in people with ID, when it comes to depression, may arise from ''diagnostic overshadowing'' of depression symptoms, which often remain hidden under abnormal behavior and adjustment disorders, especially in patients with severe forms of ID. As a possible way to overcome these problems some authors have proposed the concept of ''behavioral equivalents of depression'' or behavioral disorders that evidently can be associated with depression, such as social withdrawal, aggression, hostility, irritability, psychomotor agitation or retardation. Intensification of these forms of behavior may be a sign of developing depression, and in that sense, this view represents a useful starting point. When it comes to therapeutic approaches, there is a general tendency in favour of psycho pharmacotherapy in the treatment of depression, although there is a growing number of researches that prove the favourable effects of cognitivebehavioral and psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
