Abstract: It remains unclear how major psychiatric comorbidities and parental psychiatric disorders differ in males and females with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Between 2001 and 2011, 17,627 children and 5071 adolescents with ASD (ICD-9-CM code: 299) were identified from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database and assessed for major psychiatric comorbidities and parental psychiatric disorders. Compared with females with ASD, males with ASD were more likely to be diagnosed as having attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (relative risk [RR], 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.63, 1.51–1.75) and disruptive behavior disorder (1.38, 1.17–1.62) and less likely to be diagnosed as having schizophrenia (0.45, 0.36–0.56), bipolar disorder (0.58, 0.45–0.74), or intellectual disability (0.53, 0.49–0.58). Furthermore, compared with women, having a parental history of schizophrenia (RR, 95% CI 0.66, 0.49–0.89) or intellectual disability (0.34, 0.19–0.61) was less associated with ASD among men. However, the difference in ASD diagnosis between ICD-9-CM and ICD-10/11-CM systems may reflect the different, but surely overlapping, entity of ASD, which may limit the generalization of our results. Additional studies should be performed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
