Article Abstract
Purpose Of Review: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are both increasing in prevalence and commonly co-occur with each other. The goal of this review is to outline what has been published recently on the topics of ASD, ADHD, and the comorbid state (ASD+ADHD) with a particular focus on shared phenomenology, differential diagnosis, and treatment considerations.
Recent Findings: ASD and ADHD have shared genetic heritability and are both associated with shared impairments in social functioning and executive functioning. Quantitative and qualitative differences exist, however, in the phenotypic presentations of the impairments which characterize ASD and ADHD. For ASD interventions to be maximally efficacious, comorbid ADHD needs to be considered (and vice versa). The research on ASD and ADHD suggests some overlap between the two disorders yet enough differences to indicate that these conditions are sufficiently distinct to warrant separate diagnostic categories.

Background: Children and adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often face structural and psychological barriers in accessing medical care, including economic costs, long wait times, and stress of attending new medical environments. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of telehealth services to overcome these challenges. However, few studies have assessed the satisfaction levels of children and adolescents diagnosed with neurodevelopmental disorders and their caregivers when they use telepsychiatry, particularly in Japan.

Background: Vitamin interventions have emerged as a cost-effective and accessible approach to managing Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), primarily for alleviating gastrointestinal symptoms such as constipation. Recent studies suggest vitamins may also improve core symptoms, yet most existing research focuses on comparisons between patients and healthy controls, lacking clinically relevant, evidence-based insights.
Methods: A meta-analysis was conducted using studies retrieved from PubMed, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library, focusing on vitamin interventions in ASD and ADHD populations.
Prevalence of mental disorders among young males in Swedish compulsory residential care.
Front Psychiatry
August 2025
Department of Clinical Neuroscience at Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden.
Introduction: This study sought to examine the prevalence of diagnosed and undiagnosed psychiatric disorders, comorbidity, and acute psychiatric conditions among young males in compulsory residential care due to criminality, substance misuse, or other socially destructive behavior pattern.
Methods: An online cross-sectional survey measured diagnosed and undiagnosed mental disorders listed in DSM-5, and other psychiatric conditions among children and youth admitted to the Swedish National Board of Institutional Care. Psychologists at the residential homes answered one questionnaire per young male participant by retrieving information from records and other relevant files.

September 2025
Division of Pediatric Neurology, Department of Pediatrics, David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California, USA.
Background: Maternal acetaminophen use during pregnancy is common globally. However, its potential risks for neurodevelopmental disorders in offspring, including attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and intellectual disability (ID), remain uncertain in Asian populations.
Objective: We examined the association between maternal acetaminophen use during pregnancy and diagnoses of neurodevelopmental disorders in offspring.
Neurodevelopmental effects of perinatal exposure to cannabis on progeny: A narrative review.
Drug Alcohol Depend Rep

Department of Pharmaceutical Outcomes and Policy, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, United States.
Objective: The certainty of effects on neurodevelopmental outcomes resulting from perinatal cannabis exposure is yet to be established. This review synthesizes current clinical and preclinical evidence on neurodevelopment and related functional outcomes in offspring exposed to cannabis during pregnancy or early childhood. Additionally, gaps in the literature and suggestions to bridge these gaps are provided.
