Study: Exploring the Impact of Autism Diagnosis Age on Mental Health

Researchers from Walden University are seeking participants for a research study to examine how the age of autism diagnosis impacts the severity of mental health issues. The primary hypotheses suggest that the age at which autism is diagnosed directly affects the severity of depression and PTSD symptoms. Additionally, it is hypothesized that the age of ASD diagnosis directly affects PTSD symptom severity and has an indirect effect mediated by depression and anxiety.
