An international study analyzing genetic data from over 45,000 autistic individuals across Europe and the US found that children diagnosed with autism before age six typically show behavioral difficulties from early childhood, while those diagnosed after age 10 experience increasing social difficulties during adolescence.</span

Researchers discovered that the genetic profiles of early-diagnosed and later-diagnosed autism differ significantly, with only modest overlap between the two groups, challenging the assumption that autism represents a single unified condition with one underlying cause.</span

The study revealed that commonly heritable polygenic factors explain approximately 11% of the variation in age at autism diagnosis, similar to the contribution of sociodemographic and clinical factors which typically account for less than 15% of this variance.</span

Later-diagnosed individuals showed increased likelihood of mental health conditions such as depression, with genetic analysis revealing stronger overlap between later-diagnosed autism and psychiatric disorders including ADHD, depression and PTSD than with early childhood autism.</span

The research team used behavioral data from four birth cohorts ranging from 89 to 188 participants and applied the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire to track socioemotional and behavioral trajectories across childhood and adolescence in multiple countries.</span

Scientists emphasized that these findings represent average differences on a gradient rather than distinct diagnostic categories, noting that many individuals fall somewhere between the early and later diagnosis patterns identified in the research.</span
