Anxiety in ASD Sample Clauses

Anxiety in ASD. While anxiety does not involve in the phenomenological features of ASD; it is highly common in children and adolescents with XXX (Xxxxx et al., 2018; Xxxxxxx et al., 2015; Xxxxxxxx et al., 2008). That is, when compared to peers in the general population, anxiety problems are more prevalent in individuals with ASD (Xxxxxxx, 2004; Xxxxxxxx- Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx, XxXxxxxxx, & Xxxxxxx, 2010; Xxxx et al., 2018). The prevalence rate of clinically elevated anxiety problems in children who have had a statement for special educational needs or with ASD is around 42% (Xxxxxxxx et al., 2008), whilst in a community sample of children with ASD, the prevalence rate was around 79% (Xxxxxxx et al., 2015). A meta-analytic study also suggested that between 11% and 84% of children with ASD experience some degree of anxiety traits (Xxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, & Xxxxxxx, 2009). Moreover, children and adolescents with ASD, regardless of their other co-occurring psychiatric conditions and IQ levels were found to have some degree of threshold and sub-threshold anxiety traits (Xxxxxxx et al., 2013; Xxxxxxxxx, Creemers, Vermulst, & Xxxxxx, 2018). Similar to ASD symptoms, anxiety traits are moderately heritable (~ 50 %; Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx, & Xxxxx, 2009; Xxxxxxx et al., 2014) and there are higher levels of anxiety traits in unaffected co-twins of ASD probands (Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx, et al., 2013). The presentation of anxiety in ASD can be complicated. The interplay between underlying mechanisms of both conditions may result in traditional and/or ASD-specific phenotypes (Xxxxx et al., 2014). Nevertheless, concurrent anxiety problems are additional burdens in daily life, they can influence social and adaptive functioning of children with XXX (Xxxxxxx, 2004).
