There should really be a lot more information on the medical bits. Also, regarding the mention of ADHD, it should be noted that its diagnosis excludes other PDDs, although it is arguably related to the autism spectrum. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.217.126.54 ( talk) 21:04, 16 April 2005 (UTC)
The text says that asd and adhd can not be comorbid diagnosis per the dsm iv. is this really true? the only exclusion I see is for pdd not autism per se (though pdd-nos as been described as another spelling for asd's. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.7.163.64 ( talk) 06:49, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
"Obsessive-compulsive disorder is characterized by recurrent obsessional thoughts or compulsive acts. [...] Compulsive acts or rituals are stereotyped behaviours that are repeated again and again. They are not inherently enjoyable, nor do they result in the completion of inherently useful tasks."
I think we should add: in the case of OCD, compulsive acts are used to decrease the anxiety which the obsessions entail. Apokrif 19:42, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Now, I had a look at the source and it doesn't say that at all. And even if it did, it wouldn't really be up to scratch (imho) because it's FOAF-stuff on a message board. Garrick92 14:25, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

I suggest that these headings should be organized by prevalence. This is fairly wide spread information, or should be. I'll do some research and do some edits unless someone has some alternative suggestions? Sethwoodworth 00:43, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
There is a mention under the Fragile X syndrome section about ASD. It is not linked and there is no explanation. What is ASD? Sowsearsoup 17:57, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
The comorbidity rate is all over the place:
From what I've seen, we take the highest and lowest estimates, but a range of 0% to 46% or 47% doesn't give much conclusive data. >.> MichaelExe ( talk) 00:41, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
I noticed that there was a page entitled " Medical conditions related to autism," and I think it should be merged with this page since it is shorter than this one and clearly doesn't contain very much information not already present here. Jinkinson talk to me 03:24, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

As with Medical conditions related to autism, this article is largely a duplicate of the "Conditions..." article; we do not need 2 articles that describe essentially the same information. Jinkinson talk to me What did he do now? 02:47, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

The page currently states there is "a lack of published rigorous data to support the theory that autistic children have more or different GI symptoms than usual" and cites a 2005 analysis of the data. I have since found a decent 2012 study which finds a very strong link between GI problems and Autism: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22119694 Does this supersede by being more recent? or do we stick with the meta-analysis?

Dr. Wakefield's paper has not been withdrew «after a moral panic occurred, due to a misunderstanding that it blamed vaccination», but because it was a scientific fraud. And indeed it did blame vaccination! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.236.71.187 ( talk) 07:37, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

This paragraph is very fuzzy and the paper cited for the first quite bold statement ("Bipolar disorder, or manic-depression, is a highly controversial diagnosis") is actually only referring to pediatric bipolar disorder (and thus the statement taken as is is completely false; bipolar disorder is not a remotely controversial diagnosis if you don't include the "pediatric". Autism is a lifelong disorder, just because it begins in childhood doesn't mean conditions can only be comorbid if they are also diagnosed in childhood. I don't even know where to begin to clean this up, maybe something involving this study?

Should autism speaks be used as a source on this site, or should it be replaced with more reliable sources as a known conspiracy site?
Note: 2 of the 3 links appear broken or deleted. The working link does not relate to any conspiracies and seems to contain good information, as it references a real study done by actual scientists ( https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26052041/), though the article also recommends all autistic people get nutritionists, which is not supported by the study. -- 2001:56A:71BA:6800:E825:5731:1BDC:74A ( talk) 13:43, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
Branched-chain keto acid dehydrogenase kinase deficiency presents as autism spectrum disorder, but the number of patients described in literature since its discovery is extremely small. I'm leaving the link here in case someone finds some goods sources. I'm not sure whether it merits inclusion just yet. -- CopperKettle ( talk) 13:40, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
Because the name of the article is "Conditions comorbid to autism spectrum disorders", it implies that autism is a morbidity, i.e., a disease, which it is not. I am therefore asking that the name of this article be changed to "Conditions co-occurring with autism spectrum disorders" to better reflect reality and cause less offense. 80.193.98.150 ( talk) 11:55, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
