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

TL;DR: Findings highlight the importance of screening for CD in individuals with ASD to mitigate the potential development of comorbid SUD and suggest that CD is a true risk factor for SUD in the ASD population.

Eye-Gaze Pattern Analysis as a Key to Understanding Co-occurring Social Anxiety within Autism Spectrum Disorder
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of social anxiety on gaze patterns in adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) was investigated. But, there was no evidence for gaze vigilance followed by avoidance for socially threatening stimuli in either the ASD or SAD groups, and there were no relationship between fear of negative evaluation and gaze duration toward social threatening stimuli within the ASD group.

Evidence of raised levels of autistic traits in a homeless population
TL;DR: RyRyder et al. as discussed by the authors conducted a systematic review of whether and how ASC overlaps with the personality disorders (PDs) schizoid PD and schizotypal PD, and found that a relatively high proportion did show strong evidence of ASC traits, which suggests that rates of this condition may be raised in this population and that further investigation is required.

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.
