Follow-up of adolescents with autism and psychotic symptoms in Sweden

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a cohort-based observational follow-up of adolescents who were diagnosed with autism in 2013, some of whom had self-reported psychotic symptoms. The study adds a second recruitment wave from the same cohort to include controls without psychotic symptoms for comparison. Data are collected through self-rating scales, semi-structured interviews, and health records, with analyses focusing on descriptive descriptions and group comparisons using non-parametric methods. No interventions are delivered; the aim is to describe current function and symptomatology over approximately a decade.
