The disorders that fall on the autism spectrum are <strong>autism<\/strong>, <strong>Asperger syndrome<\/strong> and <strong>atypical autism<\/strong>. People with these symptoms are said to be &#8216;<strong>on the spectrum<\/strong>&#8216; because autism is of many types and the severity of symptoms varies from person to person. Although it can be diagnosed at any age, autism is a <strong>neurodevelopmental<\/strong> disorder because symptoms usually become visible in the first years of life. There are exceptions, as some people with more subtle forms of the disorder disguise their symptoms to better adapt to situations and avoid social rejection. This is more common in women with above average IQ and delays the process of receiving a diagnosis. The disorder can remain unidentified until adulthood, when it manifests with <strong>other mental illnesses<\/strong> such as <strong>depression, anxiety or ADHD<\/strong>. However, the symptoms associated with autism need to be managed throughout life and can have a detrimental impact on adult life [1]. For this reason, <strong>early and correct diagnosis of<\/strong> autism spectrum disorders is<strong> essential<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"gb-block-image gb-block-image-6e14f9ee\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2500\" height=\"1212\" class=\"gb-image gb-image-6e14f9ee\" src=\"https:\/\/mentalhealthforromania.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2-e1676460635904.jpg\" alt=\"b\u0103iat cu ochii \u00eenchi\u0219i \u00eenconjurat de multe obiecte plutitoare \" title=\"2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mentalhealthforromania.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2-e1676460635904.jpg 2500w, https:\/\/mentalhealthforromania.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2-e1676460635904-300x145.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mentalhealthforromania.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2-e1676460635904-1024x496.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mentalhealthforromania.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2-e1676460635904-768x372.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mentalhealthforromania.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2-e1676460635904-1536x745.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mentalhealthforromania.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2-e1676460635904-2048x993.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/mentalhealthforromania.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2-e1676460635904-1600x776.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2500px) 100vw, 2500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-e5f69cd2 gb-headline-text gb-headline-image-caption\">\u00a9 Julia Yellow<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How common are spectrum disorders in young people and adults?<\/h2>\n\n<p>The prevalence of autism is around <strong>1%<\/strong> in adults, which means it is more common than conditions like diabetes. However, many adults face difficulties in accessing diagnostic and treatment services [2]. Spectrum disorders are associated with financial and emotional hardship for affected individuals, their families and society. Other mental health disorders are also common alongside autism spectrum disorders: about <strong>70-80%<\/strong> of adults with autism are also affected by other conditions such as depression, anxiety, ADHD or psychotic disorders [3]. It is therefore important to raise awareness of the autism spectrum and the mental health disorders often associated with it.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Autism spectrum and depression<\/h2>\n\n<p>\u00cen timp ce \u00een Rom\u00e2nia se estimeaz\u0103 c\u0103 <strong>\u00eentre 3 \u0219i 5% din oameni<\/strong> sufer\u0103 de depresie la un moment dat \u00een via\u021b\u0103 [4, 5], aproximativ <strong>de<\/strong> <strong>trei sau patru ori mai mul\u021bi<\/strong> adul\u021bi cu tulbur\u0103ri de spectru se confrunt\u0103 \u00een paralel cu simptome depresive [6].<\/p>\n\n<p>A meta-analysis of 7857 articles published in English reported that depression in people on the spectrum is more commonly diagnosed among Caucasians with above average intellect [6]. Possible explanations are that autistic people with above average intellect are more aware of autistic symptoms and their negative impact on their lives [7]. Related to the high prevalence among Caucasians, this may also be due to the fact that methods of diagnosing depression <strong>are not adapted to other cultures and ethnicities<\/strong>, or that people in developing countries cannot easily access psychological or psychiatric services.<\/p>\n\n<p>It should also be taken into account that the diagnosis of depression involves good collaboration between the clinician (psychologist and\/or psychiatrist) and the patient, so that the clinician can understand the person&#8217;s concerns. For people on the spectrum, <strong>the communication of depressive symptoms is hampered by communication deficits<\/strong> (verbal and non-verbal) and lack of self-reflection. Also, depressive symptoms in those on the spectrum are often <strong>atypical<\/strong>, presenting as increased aggression, irritability and agitation, as well as fluctuating moods. Young people who experience this set of symptoms are simultaneously more likely to exhibit exacerbated compulsive states and more stereotypic behavior [8].<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Autism spectrum and psychotic disorders<\/h2>\n\n<p>Spectrum and psychotic disorders often overlap, so that psychosis is found in more than <strong>3 in 100 people<\/strong> with a spectrum disorder [9]. For context, psychoses occur in one in 100 people in the general population.<\/p>\n\n<p>Both categories of disorders are considered neurodevelopmental and spectrum disorders. <strong>Both are characterized by difficulties in social interaction<\/strong>, such as lack of emotional reciprocity in autism and lack of natural reactions to emotional stimuli in psychosis. Also, language delay or lack of language in spectrum disorders is similar to language poverty in psychotic disorders, and impairments in <strong>executive functioning<\/strong> (attention, information processing) are similar for both groups. While paranoia and a pervasive sense of threat are symptoms of the psychotic spectrum, those on the autistic spectrum are reluctant to interact with or trust other people. Overall, the two groups of disorders appear to exist at <strong>different ends of a continuum<\/strong> [10].<\/p>\n\n<p>Autism and psychotic disorders have an interesting history. Before autistic spectrum disorders appeared as a separate diagnosis in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, they were seen as psychotic disorders that begin in childhood. Although we now know that they can occur at the same time, it is still very difficult to differentiate between certain symptoms, and research on the subject is still in its infancy. However, individuals who present with autism spectrum disorder and psychotic disorder simultaneously appear to differ from those who are diagnosed with psychotic disorder alone &#8211; that is, they are more likely to receive a diagnosis of psychotic disorder of unspecified type precisely because their clinical presentations are atypical. By the nature of autistic symptoms, this may also be due to the fact that people on the spectrum are less disturbed by the presence of hallucinations or delusions and therefore these are more difficult to identify.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"gb-block-image gb-block-image-cbad6f7f\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2500\" height=\"931\" class=\"gb-image gb-image-cbad6f7f\" src=\"https:\/\/mentalhealthforromania.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/3-2-e1676460698331.jpg\" alt=\"Imagine artistic\u0103 cu un contur de fa\u021b\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 alte detalii de expresie\" title=\"3 (2)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mentalhealthforromania.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/3-2-e1676460698331.jpg 2500w, https:\/\/mentalhealthforromania.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/3-2-e1676460698331-300x112.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mentalhealthforromania.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/3-2-e1676460698331-1024x381.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mentalhealthforromania.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/3-2-e1676460698331-768x286.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mentalhealthforromania.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/3-2-e1676460698331-1536x572.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mentalhealthforromania.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/3-2-e1676460698331-2048x763.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/mentalhealthforromania.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/3-2-e1676460698331-1600x596.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2500px) 100vw, 2500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-a2abd996 gb-headline-text gb-headline-image-caption\">\u00a9 Pep Boatella<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Autism spectrum and ADHD<\/h2>\n\n<p>Spectrum disorders and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) often overlap, so that about <strong>28-44%<\/strong> of adults diagnosed with autism also qualify for a diagnosis of ADHD [11]. Although the American Psychiatric Association denied until 2013 that autism and ADHD can be diagnosed simultaneously in the same person, the new Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders has been adapted to claim that the two can exist simultaneously. This psychiatric comorbidity (when two psychiatric conditions occur in the same person) can be partly explained by common genetic risk factors.<\/p>\n\n<p>Both are neurodevelopmental disorders that affect <strong>executive functioning<\/strong> (for example, attention, concentration and decision-making). Although the neurobiological mechanisms are not clear, the heightened interest and attention that people on the spectrum pay to certain activities is similar to the &#8220;hyperfocus&#8221; phenomenon in ADHD, when a person is so focused on an activity or subject that they become fixated on the smallest details. People with both sets of symptoms face increased problems with social integration and organization, but these can be managed with treatment.<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Accessible resources on autism<\/h3>\n\n<p><strong>Book recommendation in English:<\/strong> Explaining Humans, by Camilla Pang &#8211; The experiences of a young scientist with autism and ADHD<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Movie recommendation: <\/strong>The Accountant:<br\/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt2140479\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt2140479\/ https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt2140479\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>TEDTalk tip:<\/strong> Autism and addictions:<br\/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=FU5nUEfCDdI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=FU5nUEfCDdI https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=FU5nUEfCDdI<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>TEDTalk tip:<\/strong> What do children with autism do as adults?<br\/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WtgGzKRHT-Y\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WtgGzKRHT-Y https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WtgGzKRHT-Y<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Recommended autism resources in English:<\/strong><br\/><a href=\"https:\/\/autismvoice.ro\/exista-mai-multe-tipuri-de-autism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/autismvoice.ro\/exista-mai-multe-tipuri-de-autism\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p>.<\/p>\n\n<p>.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Scientific resources<\/h3>\n\n<p>[1] <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nimh.nih.gov\/health\/topics\/autism-spectrum-disorders-asd\/index.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.nimh.nih.gov\/health\/topics\/autism-spectrum-disorders-asd\/index.shtml<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p>[2] Murphy, C.
