Autistic adults are at greater risk of co-occurring psychiatric disorders, self-harm and suicidal behaviors compared to the general population.
“Autistic adults are at greater risk of co-occurring psychiatric disorders, self-harm and suicidal behaviors compared to the general population (Hollocks et al., 2019; Licence et al., 2019; Cassidy et al., 2020; Moseley et al., 2020).”
From Feasibility, Acceptability and Preliminary Efficacy of Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Autistic Adults without Intellectual Disability: A Mixed Methods Study (2022) · cites this paper as Cassidy et al., 2020
The paper’s opening section states that autistic adults are significantly more likely than the general population to experience non-suicidal self-injury, and that autistic people are more likely to die by self-harm or suicide. In “Prevalence and Risk Markers,” it says co-occurring psychiatric conditions increase suicidality risk among autistic adults, but does not say those conditions are more common in autistic adults than in the general population. The psychiatric-disorders comparison is therefore unsupported by this source. (LLM, conf=0.88)

Recent research has highlighted high prevalence of self-harm and suicidal behaviors in this population and lack of psychological interventions aiming to address them.
“The latter point is particularly important given that recent research has highlighted the high prevalence of self-harm and suicidal behaviors in this population and the lack of psychological interventions aiming to address them (Licence et al., 2019; Cassidy et al., 2020; Moseley et al., 2020).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
