Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is an early onset and persistent condition defined by alterations in social communication and social interation alongside repetitive, restricted stereotypic behaviours and interests causing disabilities. Until recently, research on the co-occurrence of ADHD with ASD has been limited by DSM-IV criteria, allowing no dual diagnosis of these two neurodevelopmental disorders. Since the DSM-5 permits a double diagnosis of ADHD plus ASD, research on their comorbidity has substantially increased. In addition to shared and distinct aetiological factors, studies have revealed a high clinical impact of the combined symptomatology on individual outcomes. This chapter provides a selective overview of behavioural, cognitive, and biological findings as well as intervention strategies in combined ADHD/ASD phenotypes.

El Trastorno de Espectro Autista (TEA) y el Trastorno Obsesivo Compulsivo (TOC) de inicio en la infancia son trastornos del neurodesarrollo con una prevalencia aproximada de entre el 1 y el 3%. Ambos trastornos tienen como característica similar la existencia de comportamientos repetitivos. Objetivos: describir la prevalencia de comportamientos repetitivos de los niños con TEA con la adaptación española del Child Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale por Autism Spectrum Disorder (CY-BOCS-ASD) y comparar el tipo de síntomas y la gravedad con los evaluados en un grupo de comparación con TOC. Metodología: se evaluó mediante el CY-BOCS-ASD una muestra de 39 sujetos con diagnóstico de TEA (confirmado por la Autism Disorder Interview-Revised -ADI-R-) y mediante el Child Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (CY-BOCS) 36 sujetos con diagnóstico de TOC siguiendo criterios DSM-IV. Para poder ser incluidos, todos los participantes debían tenir un cociente intelectual >70. Resultados: se obtuvieron puntuaciones más altas en los síntomas obsesivo-compulsivos actuales en el grupo de TOC (12,95+3,45) que en el grupo con TEA (8.23+5.65), (t = -3.632, p = .001). Las compulsiones de limpieza (p=.003), comprobación (p=.001), contaje (p=.001), orden y simetría (p=.004), y miscelánea (p=.001) fueron significativamente más prevalentes en el grupo de TOC. La frecuencia, malestar e interferencia fue mayor en pacientes con TOC que en los pacientes con TEA. Conclusiones: la CY-BOCS-ASD podría ser un instrumento útil para detectar síntomas compulsivos en niños y adolescentes con TEA. Disponer de un instrumento adaptado hará que dicha sintomatología, que requiere un abordaje específico, esté mejor evaluada y considerada en el tratamiento global de los pacientes con TEA.

The Adapted Skillstreaming Checklist measures social/social-communication skills and behavioral flexibility/regulation of children with autism spectrum disorder without intellectual disability. Prior studies provided support for the reliability and criterion-related validity of the Adapted Skillstreaming Checklist total score for these children; however, no studies have examined the Adapted Skillstreaming Checklist factor structure. This exploratory factor analysis examined the factor structure and internal consistency of parent ratings on the Adapted Skillstreaming Checklist for a sample of 331 children, ages 6–12 years, with autism spectrum disorder without intellectual disability. Results yielded a correlated three-factor solution. The individual factors and total score demonstrated very good internal consistency reliability. Findings supported the presence and interpretability of three subscales, as well as derivation of a total composite reflecting overall prosocial and adaptive skills and behaviors. Implications for assessment and research are discussed.
