Odds Ratios (95% CI) for Reported Crimes for Youth With ASD Symptomatology Compared to Youth with No Lifetime DSM-IV Diagnosis
Property Crime, Theft, Burglary Violent Crime Any Other Crime Arrested* 8.31 (2.45–28.19) 25.42 (5.34–121.05) 17.91 (7.63–42.07) Not arrested† 11.64 (5.50–24.64) 24.24 (7.38–79.64) 10.89 (5.15–23.03) Note: Estimates are weighted to account for survey design. The estimates were also adjusted for income, race/ethnicity, age, and gender. Acute stress disorder (ASD) is representative of lifetime symptomatology associated with ASD as established in the DSM-5, with the exception of negative mood. For all odds ratios, adjusted p values ≤ .01.
