TLDR
Adults with ASD have high levels of psychiatric comorbidity and dysfunction comparable to a clinically referred population of adults without ASD, and were functionally more impaired with a significant proportion having received both counseling and pharmacotherapy.Abstract:
To systematically examine the patterns of psychiatric comorbidity and functioning in clinically referred adults with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Psychiatrically referred adults with and without ASD were compared on measures assessing for psychiatric comorbidity and psychosocial functioning. Sixty-three adults with ASD participated in the study (mean age: 29 ± 11 years). Adults with ASD in their lifetime suffered from a higher burden of psychiatric disorders (6 ± 3.4 vs. 3.5 ± 2.7; p < 0.001) including major depressive disorder and multiple anxiety disorders, and were functionally more impaired with a significant proportion having received both counseling and pharmacotherapy. Adults with ASD have high levels of psychiatric comorbidity and dysfunction comparable to a clinically referred population of adults without ASD.read more

Conceptualising paranoia in ASD: A systematic review and development of a theoretical framework
TL;DR: The initial evidence indicates that paranoia in ASD may be linked with theory of mind performance, negative affect, and jumping to conclusions, but not to attributional style, and it is hypothesised that core ASD characteristics and associated neurocognitive impairments also serve to precipitate and perpetuate paranoia.

Siyi Tang,Siyi Tang,Nanbo Sun,Dorothea L. Floris,Xiuming Zhang,Adriana Di Martino,B.T. Thomas Yeo +6 more
TL;DR: There exist at least three ASD factors with dissociable patterns of whole-brain RSFC, behaviors and demographics, and these factors differentiated between core ASD and comorbid symptoms - a less appreciated domain of heterogeneity in ASD.

Emotion Circuits in the Brain
TL;DR: The field of neuroscience has, after a long period of looking the other way, again embraced emotion as an important research area, and much of the progress has come from studies of fear, and especially fear conditioning as mentioned in this paper.
