“…Behaviors might be disorganized in people with psychoses, while individuals with ASD typically feel comfortable with routines and sameness [28]. Nevertheless, mannerisms and stereotypies can occur in schizophrenia as well as in ASD [29]. Again, it is important to underline that the etiology is different.…”

“…Again, it is important to underline that the etiology is different. In SSD, mannerisms can emerge from delusional ideas, but may also be regarded as an expression of catatonic motor disorder or a manifestation of negativism [29]. The role of repetitive behaviors and mannerisms in individuals with ASD remains still unclear, although a wide variety of functions have been attributed to them: for instance, they can be used to calm anxiety, to communicate emotions, or for self-stimulatory purposes [30].…”

Self-Reported Autistic Traits Using the AQ: A Comparison between Individuals with ASD, Psychosis, and Non-Clinical Controls

et al. 2020

The term “autism” was originally coined by Eugen Bleuler to describe one of the core symptoms of schizophrenia. Even if autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD) are now considered two distinct conditions, they share some clinical features. The present study aimed to investigate self-reported autistic traits in individuals with ASD, SSD, and non-clinical controls (NCC), using the Autism-Spectrum Quotient (AQ), a 50-item questionnaire. The study was conducted in the Psychiatry Unit of Policlinico “G. Rodolico”, Catania, Italy. The AQ was administered to 35 adults with ASD, 64 with SSD, and 198 NCC. Overall, our data showed that the ASD sample scored significantly higher than NCC. However, no significant differences were detected between individuals with ASD and SSD. Notably, the three groups scored similarly in the subscale “attention to detail”. AQ showed good accuracy in differentiating ASD from NCC (AUC = 0.84), while discriminant ability was poor in the clinical sample (AUC = 0.63). Finally, AQ did not correlate with clinician-rated ADOS-2 scores in the ASD sample. Our study confirms that symptoms are partially overlapping in adults with ASD and psychosis. Moreover, they raise concerns regarding the usefulness of AQ as a screening tool in clinical populations.

“…Mannerisms are repetitive and unusual habits or gestures unique to the individual [ 344 , 345 ]. Mannerisms can be seen not only in healthy individuals but also in patients with schizophrenia with delusions [ 346 ]. Unlike tics, mannerisms may be goal-directed (e.g., performing a ritualistic action for luck) [ 345 , 346 ].…”

Tics are characterized by sudden, rapid, recurrent, nonrhythmic movement or vocalization, and are the most common movement disorders in children. Their onset is usually in childhood and tics often will diminish within one year. However, some of the tics can persist and cause various problems such as social embarrassment, physical discomfort, or emotional impairments, which could interfere with daily activities and school performance. Furthermore, tic disorders are frequently associated with comorbid neuropsychiatric symptoms, which can become more problematic than tic symptoms. Unfortunately, misunderstanding and misconceptions of tic disorders still exist among the general population. Understanding tic disorders and their comorbidities is important to deliver appropriate care to patients with tics. Several studies have been conducted to elucidate the clinical course, epidemiology, and pathophysiology of tics, but they are still not well understood. This article aims to provide an overview about tics and tic disorders, and recent findings on tic disorders including history, definition, diagnosis, epidemiology, etiology, diagnostic approach, comorbidities, treatment and management, and differential diagnosis.

Tic disorders are the most common movement disorders in a pediatric practice. Moreover, tic disorders are frequently associated with comorbid neuropsychiatric symptoms. Therefore, understanding tic disorders is vital for general practitioners to deliver appropriate care to patients with tics. However, misunderstanding and misconceptions of tic disorders still exist among the general population and in health care providers. For the past decade, many studies have been conducted to elucidate tic disorders. This article aims to provide an overview about tics and tic disorders, and recent information on tic disorders including history, definition, diagnosis, epidemiology, etiology, diagnostic approach, comorbidities, treatment and management, and differential diagnosis.
