“…However, our findings may also support the possibility that childhood adversity contributes to the high rate of mental health issues experienced by individuals with ASD (Kerns et al, 2015b; Adams et al, 2014). Shared genetic/biological pathways likely contribute to psychiatric comorbidity in ASD (White et al, 2014), yet ACEs may also play an important role as known contributors to emotional dysregulation (a potential precipitant of psychiatric co-occurrence in ASD; White et al, 2014; Mazefsky et al 2013) and psychiatric symptoms (Edwards et al, 2003).…”

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are risk factors for mental and physical illness and more likely to occur for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The present study aimed to clarify the contribution of poverty, intellectual disability and mental health conditions to this disparity. Data on child and family characteristics, mental health conditions and ACEs were analyzed in 67,067 youth from the 2011–2012 National Survey of Children’s Health. In an income-stratified sample, the association of ASD and ACEs was greater for lower income children and significantly diminished after controlling for child mental health conditions, but not intellectual disability. Findings suggest that the association of ACEs and ASD is moderated by family income and contingent on co-occurring mental health conditions.

“…This is one possible mechanism through which SC difficulties may predispose to greater SA symptoms in childhood; however, there may be several alternative mechanisms, for example peer victimization, bullying, or social insight, 35 that may contribute to the development of SA in those who exhibit severe SC difficulties. For example, in adolescents with ASD, self-reported peer victimization and bullying are associated with increased internalizing problems 36 . It is possible that SC difficulties predispose to these additional risk factors or that they develop independent of social ability.…”

ObjectiveSocial anxiety (SA) is a common condition associated with social and communication (SC) difficulties in typically developing young people, as well as those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Whether SC difficulties place children at risk for developing SA is unclear. Using a longitudinal design, the present study aimed to disentangle the relationship between SA symptoms and SC difficulties using a population-based sample of 9,491 children from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC).MethodParent-reported data on SC difficulties and SA symptoms were collected at ages 7, 10, and 13 years. A cross-lagged panel model was used to investigate the longitudinal stability and directional relationship between latent SC difficulties and SA constructs over time.ResultsMore SC difficulties were associated with greater SA symptoms at all ages. Earlier SC difficulties predicted a small but significant amount of variance in later SA symptoms. The reverse relationship from SA to SC difficulties was not observed. The relationship from SC difficulties to SA was strongest from age 7 to 10 years. No sex differences were observed.ConclusionThe evidence suggests that SC difficulties may be an important risk factor for the development of SA. These findings suggest the potential usefulness of incorporating social skills training alongside effective interventions to prevent or alleviate symptoms of SA in childhood.

“…They reported that total levels of peer victimization were strongly related to symptoms of panic and moderately related to symptoms of depression. Adams et al (2013) found that adolescent reports of peer victimization were associated with internalizing symptoms. The authors also found that parental report of peer victimization was not associated with internalizing symptoms.…”

“…The authors also found that parental report of peer victimization was not associated with internalizing symptoms. Adams et al (2013) commented that the experience of peer victimization may help to explain the high rates of internalizing behaviors in adolescents with ASD. Rosbrook and Whittingham (2010) found social problem-solving ability and past teasing experiences to be significant mediators between traits of autism and anxiety symptoms.…”

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.
