Abstract in brief
- The study analyzed the psychiatric history of 161 adults in Italy who were diagnosed with ASD later in life, with most being diagnosed around age 23, often after previous misdiagnoses or no diagnosis at all.
- Many participants had received different psychiatric diagnoses in the past, such as intellectual disability, psychoses, personality disorders, or depression, highlighting challenges in accurately diagnosing ASD in adults.
- The research emphasizes the importance for clinicians to consider ASD during diagnosis, especially given its prevalence and common co-occurring mental health conditions, and notes sex differences in diagnosis age and symptom scores.]

@CaRenaeTX @Marmartk01 @cherylsmall64 @_ActionMatters I'm glad you had some satisfaction reading a headline and posting an article you didn't read.

@GabbieHanna Ofc there needs to be more research done on both BPD and ASD: https://t.co/O7zOFHLgIW because misdiagnosis is part of the journey of recovery. It’s not a linear line, many live with comorbidity which is two or more mental illness diagnoses being present at once.
