Abstract

Persons with fragile X syndrome (FXS) with cooccurring autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are at risk for poorer educational, medical, employment, and independent living outcomes. Thus, the identification of ASD in those with FXS is fundamental to ensuring access to appropriate supports to achieve good quality of life. Yet, optimal diagnostic methods and the exact rate of ASD comorbidity remains controversial, and description of ASD identification in the community in FXS has been limited. This study characterized ASD in a sample of 49 male youth with FXS across multiple diagnostic sources: parent-reported community diagnoses, classification derived from ADOS-2 and ADI-R thresholds, and clinical best-estimate classifications from an expert multidisciplinary team. High concordance was found between ADOS-2/ADI-R and clinical best estimate classifications, with both methods supporting ASD in ~ 75% of male youth with FXS. In contrast, 31% had a community diagnosis. Findings supported gross under-identification of ASD in male youth with FXS in community settings; 60% of those who met clinical best estimate criteria for ASD had not received a diagnosis in the community. Moreover, community diagnoses were poorly aligned with the presence of ASD symptoms as perceived by parents and professionals and, unlike clinical best estimate diagnoses, were not associated with cognitive, behavioral, or language features. Findings highlight under-identification of ASD in community settings as a significant barrier to service access for male youth with FXS. Clinical recommendations should emphasize the benefits of seeking a professional ASD evaluation for children with FXS who are noted to display key ASD symptoms.
