Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This study analyzes initial diagnosis patterns for coexisting mental health and neurodevelopmental conditions in a nationally representative sample of 776 autistic children and youth in Canada. Using latent class analysis, it identifies subgroups differentiated by the age of autism diagnosis and examines how these patterns vary by sex assigned at birth. The findings suggest that later autism diagnoses are associated with higher multimorbidity and highlight sex-specific differences in the timing of anxiety and ADHD diagnoses.
