Etiological influences on the stability of autistic traits from childhood to early adulthood: evidence from a twin study.

Molecular autism - 1 Jan 2017

Taylor Mark J, Gillberg Christopher, Lichtenstein Paul, Lundström Sebastian

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are persistent and lifelong conditions. Despite this, almost all twin studies focus on childhood. This twin study investigated the stability of autistic traits from childhood to early adulthood and explored the degree to which any stability could be explained by genetic or environmental factors. METHODS: Parents of over 2500 twin pairs completed questionnaires assessing...
