Total AQ and communication scores were statistically higher in females with PCOS. Although social skills, imagination, attention to detail and attention switching scores were higher in women with PCOS, these did not reach significance. This study showed that autistic traits were higher in women with...
Although autistic and anxious traits are positively correlated, high levels of autistic traits are associated with poorer emotional guidance of attention (EGA) whilst high levels of anxious traits are associated with greater EGA. In order to better understand how these two trait dimensions influence EG...
Deficits in mentalizing and attachment occur in the autism and schizophrenia spectrum, and their extended traits in the general population. Parental attachment and the broader social environment highly influence the development of mentalizing. Given the similarities in the symptomatology and neurodevelopmental...
Statistical tests used are always given in figure legends. Data are presented as mean±s.e.m., statistical significance was set to P=0.05. Results A normal AMBRA1 genotype, rs3802890-AA, is associated with autistic traits predominantly in female schizophrenic individuals Only one directly ...
These findings have implications for the study of autistic traits in the general population. Here, we confirm previous norms with more rigorous data and for the first time establish average AQ scores based on a systematic review, for populations of adult males and females with and without ASC. ...
Taken together, the high autistic traits subgroup exhibited higher levels of alexithymia but not empathy or interoception than the low autistic traits subgroup.

FM transsexuals had a 14-fold increase in the rate of NAP relative to typical males. Conclusions: These results confirm that those females with GID who opt for gender reassignment have a higher number of autistic traits. We speculate that these biological females, being masculinized in their ...
Here, we used hierarchical frequency tagging, an EEG paradigm that allows the independent tagging of top-down and bottom-up signals as well as their integration, to assess the relationship between autistic traits and these signals in 25 human participants (13 females, 12 males). We show that ...
it is difficult to tease apart their respective effects. Hence, in interpreting the findings, references to “girls/women” were assumed to refer to biological, cis-gender females and references to “gender” were read very carefully to determine whether they referred to biological sex or gender ...
A high prevalence of autism spectrum disorder is reported in children born extremely preterm (EP), but an even larger proportion of survivors are affected by subclinical difficulties than meet diagnostic criteria. The aims of this study were to investigate autistic traits associated with the broader ...
