The present study examines the prevalence of anxiety and depressive symptoms in adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder without intellectual disability, compared to a typically developing group, and their impact on quality of life. The reference literature highlights how those conditions often manifest in an atypical manner in autism, making diagnosis complex and having a considerable impact on the overall well-being of the individual. To assess the investigated variables, a multi-informant approach was adopted, in order to detect any discrepancies between the subjects' self-reports and those of their parents.
Il presente studio esamina la prevalenza dei sintomi ansiosi e depressivi in adolescenti con Disturbo dello Spettro Autistico senza disabilità intellettiva, rispetto ad un gruppo a sviluppo tipico, e il loro impatto sulla qualità di vita. La letteratura di riferimento evidenzia come tali condizioni si manifestino spesso in maniera atipica nell’autismo, rendendo complessa la diagnosi ed avendo un impatto notevole sul benessere complessivo della persona. Per valutare le variabili indagate, è stato adottato un approccio multi-informant, in modo da rilevare eventuali discrepanze tra le valutazioni dei soggetti e quelle dei genitori.

Abstract
The present study examines the prevalence of anxiety and depressive symptoms in adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder without intellectual disability, compared to a typically developing group, and their impact on quality of life. The reference literature highlights how those conditions often manifest in an atypical manner in autism, making diagnosis complex and having a considerable impact on the overall well-being of the individual. To assess the investigated variables, a multi-informant approach was adopted, in order to detect any discrepancies between the subjects' self-reports and those of their parents.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
