Etiologies underlying sex differences in Autism Spectrum Disorders
2014, Frontiers in NeuroendocrinologyCitation Excerpt :Also 47,XYY males and 48,XXYY males seem to have an increased rate of autism and 47,XXX females show an increased level of mild communication difficulties (Bishop et al., 2011; Bruining et al., 2009; Geerts et al., 2003; Tartaglia et al., 2008). Females with Turner syndrome (45,X) show an increased rate of autism (Creswell and Skuse, 1999) and problems in social adjustment in this group is common (McCauley et al., 1986). Differences between individuals with an atypical karyotype (either X monosomy or X or Y-polysomy) and those with a typical karyotype are often interpreted as being important for the difference in susceptibility between the sexes.
Chapter Six - Sex chromosome aneuploidies: A window for examining the effects of the X and Y chromosomes on speech, language, and social development
2011, International Review of Research in Developmental DisabilitiesCitation Excerpt :Finally, special care should be taken to identify appropriate control subjects (e.g., other girls with short stature or delayed onset of puberty, etc.). Several researchers have included controls with short stature in their studies and reported greater difficulties on social–emotional perception tasks and higher rates of social difficulties in 45, X (McCauley, Ito, & Kay, 1986; McCauley et al., 1987). Thus, there is some suggestion that social cognitive difficulties may be specific to 45, X and not only a consequence of social difficulties related to short stature.
Turner Syndrome

2007, Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Women who have Turner syndrome are also at high risk of premature ovarian failure [75]. Several studies have pinpointed distinct psychosocial difficulties associated with Turner syndrome, particularly in the areas of social maturity, social cognition, social relationships, and self-esteem [76,77]. According to parental report, girls who have Turner syndrome have lower self-esteem and fewer friends and generally engage in fewer social activities than age-matched controls [76].
