A grouped column chart. The chart shows the percentage of autistic girls who have ADHD, affective disorders, anxiety disorders, a conduct disorder, eating disorders, epilepsy, intellectual disability, obsessive compulsive disorder, psychotic disorders, sleep disorders or tic disorders, grouped according to their age of diagnosis with autism.
Data is from the Danish National Patient Registry and is about 748 girls with autism born in 1997 or 1998. Each girl was followed for 16 years, and her diagnoses with co-occurring conditions, such as ADHD or anxiety, were tracked. Each color represents an age range at which autism was first diagnosed, and the length of each bar represents the percentage of girls with a given comorbidity.
