Brief report: joint trajectories of anxiety and depression symptoms in an inception cohort of autistic youth
Overview
This study examines the joint trajectories of anxiety and depression symptoms in autistic youth aged 7 to 16, utilizing caregiver-reported data from an inception cohort. The research identifies that while anxiety symptoms remain relatively stable, depression symptoms tend to increase over time, with significant individual variability in these patterns. It also explores how factors such as autistic traits, sex assigned at birth, emotional reactivity, and communication ability correlate with initial symptom levels and their progression.
