DESCRIPTION:Co-occurring conditions\, both psychiatric and somatic\, subst
 antially impact autistic individuals’ quality of life. Understanding the
  association between autism and co-occurring conditions and identifying fa
 ctors that influence this association is a leading priority for autistic i
 ndividuals. Across different cohort studies we explored the association be
 tween sex and co-occurring conditions using Swedish nationwide register da
 ta. We investigated sex differences in psychiatric diagnoses preceding a d
 iagnosis of autism\, their association with age at autism diagnosis and th
 eir stability post autism diagnosis. Moreover\, we examined mental health 
 problems and psychiatric hospitalization in autistic females and males age
 d 16 to 25 compared to nonautistic individuals. Lastly\, we explored how s
 omatic conditions in childhood (SCCs) are associated with psychiatric cond
 itions in young adulthood (PCAs)\, and how psychiatric conditions in child
 hood (PCCs) are associated with somatic conditions in young adulthood (SCA
 s). I will make the case that autistic people\, especially women\, have co
 nsiderable mental health needs.
