<p>Social communication deficits and restricted repetitive behavior symptoms in Tourette syndrome</p>

Abstract: Background: Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have been found to occur more frequently in individuals with Tourette syndrome (TS) than in the general population. Similarities exist between ASD and TS clinically, which suggests a potential relationship between the two conditions. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the occurrence of autism-related features in ASD and TS, focusing on areas of overlap and difference. Patients and methods: This… Show more

“…Specifically, children with clinicians’ diagnosis of TS plus OCD exhibited elevated SRS scores indicating symptom overlap between assessments of OCD and ASD on this scale. Fully in line with these results, the two studies in TS adults investigating underlying factor structure across scales on tics, OC symptoms, ADHD and autistic symptoms [ 59 , 68 ] revealed strikingly similar results, with one overlapping factor between OC and autistic symptoms, defined by the numbers and patterns subscale of the autism self-report.…”

“…In short, at P36, the high activity of FVB/N mice indicated by increased locomotion and average speed is consistent with previous studies in adult mice 27 . Repetitive behaviors are associated with ASD 38 and other neuropsychiatric disorders including ADHD and obsessive-compulsive disorder 39 . The increased repetitive rearing and climbing behavior in FVB/N mice may mask the repetitive behavioral endophenotype of these disorders in gene-modified FVB/N mouse models.…”

“…However, another possibility exists that certain symptoms may be duplicated due to environmental or other factors rather than due to a common genetic basis. The similarities could be due to a phenocopy rather than phenotypic overlap as suggested by Eapen et al [25].…”

“…More recently, Eapen et al [25] in a sample of 203 participants, 44 with GTS and 26 with ASD compared to the general sample of 133 with a mean age of 18.17 years, examined the occurrence of autism related features measured by the Social Communication Questionnaire (SCQ) focusing on areas of overlap and differences.…”
