There is an increasing focus on research exploring autistic communication and community. In this review, we systematically collate and analyse how autistic adults describe their experiences of other autistic people and the relationship this has with their Quality of Life (QoL).

This international study examines the implementation characteristics of the BIs and compares them to standardised measures for assessing the severity of intellectual impairment and adaptive behaviours in disorders of intellectual development and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The clinical utility of the ICD-11 and the fidelity of its application in international clinical settings were also assessed. Open access article - no login required

...The conditions co-occur frequently, they share some cognitive features, and they have a marked overlap in underlying genetic and environmental influences (1). Perhaps surprisingly, we know much less about the overlap in brain function, particularly when the brain is actively engaged in psychological processes. This knowledge gap is partly addressed by a meticulously conducted and conceptually elegant meta-analysis of brain function in ADHD and ASD...

The co-occurrence of unhealthy alcohol use and opioid misuse is high and associated with increased rates of overdose, emergency health care utilization, and death. The current study examined whether receipt of an alcohol-related brief intervention is associated with reduced risk of negative downstream opioid-related outcomes.
