Psychiatric Comorbidity in Autism Spectrum Disorder (360G-Wellcome-222849_Z_21_Z)
Autism Spectrum Disorder (autism) is a long-term condition which affects 1-2% of people [1]. People with autism can have difficulties with social skills and communicating with other people, repetitive behaviour and can have a small range of hobbies or interests. It can affect how people perceive the world. Some autistic people see, hear and feel the world differently. More autistic people are being identified, as people become more aware of the condition. Mental health problems are common in autistic people, but we don’t understand why. This project will look at this, and what effects genetics or lifestyle have. We will study the rates of mental health problems in a group of people with autism taken from the National Centre for Mental Health (NCMH) Database, as well as people with autism from two large datasets of anonymised health records. A small number of autistic people with anxiety will then be seen and assessed more deeply. Through this we will assess the effects of genetic risk and life choices on mental health.
