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.
