Abstract

This study compares DSM-IV symptoms in children (ages 6 to 12 years) with pervasive developmental disorder (PDD), clinic controls, and community-based samples. Parents/teachers completed the Child Symptom Inventory–4 for four samples: PDD ( N= 284/284) and non-PDD psychiatric clinic referrals ( N= 189/181) and pupils in regular ( N= 385/404) and special ( N= 61/60) education classes. The PDD group received higher symptom severity ratings than the regular education group, but was similar to the non-PDD clinic sample. Screening prevalence rates were highest for ADHD, ODD, and generalized anxiety disorder. PDD subtypes exhibited differentially higher rates of psychiatric symptoms. The magnitude of rater and gender differences in symptom severity ratings was modest. Clinic-referred children with PDD exhibit a pattern of psychiatric symptoms highly similar to nonPDD clinic referrals. Although much additional research is needed on comorbidity, these symptoms have important treatment implications.

  • Between 40% and 50% of children with ASD meet symptom criteria for at least one of the three ADHD subtypes.

    “Findings from two recent studies of children with ASD indicate that 40% to 50% meet symptom criteria for at least one of the three ADHD subtypes [38,39].”

  • There is a striking co-occurrence of autism with ADHD.

    “Some argue that attention difficulties are central to autism [37], and there is a striking co-occurrence of autism with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) [38,39].”

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.
