Abstract

The present study examined the prevalence of comorbid anxiety symptoms in 44 children with pervasive developmental disorders. Parents of the children were interviewed using the Anxiety Disorders section of the Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children. Results indicated that severe anxiety symptoms are highly prevalent in children with pervasive developmental disorders: 84.1% of the children met the full criteria for at least one anxiety disorder. Furthermore, 72.7% of the children displayed ritualistic behaviors. Implications of the findings are discussed.

  • The prevalence of anxiety disorders in autistic people is estimated to be between 18% and 87%.

    “La prevalencia de los trastornos de ansiedad (TA) en personas autistas se estima entre el 18 % (Gadow, DeVicent et al., 2004) y el 87 % (Muris et al., 1998).”
  • Many studies implicate excessive worry in autism regarding change, and excessive rigidity about things such as foods, rituals, and clothing.

    “Many studies implicate excessive worry in autism regarding change, and excessive rigidity about things such as foods, rituals, and clothing [18, 19, 21-23].”

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.
