Outline of Final Research Achievements

We investigated comorbidities related with ASD for elementary school children using questionnaire. Children with high autistic trait have high referral rate to assistance service and parents had already concerns about comorbid problems as well as autistic symptoms from early childhood. We also investigated comorbidities related with ASD for infants with ASD using BISCUIT-J(PART2,3), which aseesees comorbid problems, and showed that comorbid problems are already detected in this early age.
