Nearly all children with autism are dealing with at least one other condition — and often several — ranging from anxiety to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, sleep, behavioral and gastrointestinal issues, a new study suggests.
In an analysis of records on almost 1,900 kids on the spectrum, researchers found that over 95 percent presented with at least one issue in addition to autism.
The findings come from a study published online this month in the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders led by researchers at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
