Turner syndrome tied to autism
Interesting:
Quote:
About 61 percent of the participants had autism traits that affected their day-to-day social functioning, and 23 percent met the diagnostic criteria for autism. Those with the most significant autism traits were also more likely to meet criteria for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and anxiety, conditions that frequently co-occur with autism. The findings were published in December in Women’s Health.
I couldn't find the Women's Health article, but here is the study:
Mental health and neurodevelopment in children and adolescents with Turner syndromeThey call the 0.04% rate of Turner Syndrome "rare". That doesn't sound that rare to me. It's about the same as the original rate of autism, coincidently.
