| Core Tip |
Catatonia and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) share significant similarities in phenomenology, neurobiology, and treatment response, with catatonia occurring more frequently in ASD patients. However, evidence linking these shared features, such as repetitive behaviors, to ASD’s core definition remains weak. Instead, viewing catatonia as a distinct comorbid condition offers a more convincing framework. Current methods to differentiate the two rely on detecting changes in symptom severity or patterns to identify catatonia, an approach we support. Yet, this leaves chronic, unchanging cases unresolved, lacking precise classification. Resolving this distinction is crucial for clinical care and research, as it could reveal new treatment options, like lorazepam or electroconvulsive treatment, for restrictive and repetitive behaviors in ASD, which were previously dismissed as intrinsic and untreatable due to their persistence. |
