定量研究表明GD患者中ASD的比例过高。本研究旨在通过两种不同的数据收集方法确定GD成人中自闭症特征或ASD的患病率：（1）使用成人社会反应量表（SRS-A）和自闭症商数（AQ）的横断面数据（n = 63）。(2)临床图表数据（n = 532）。平均SRS-A评分显著高于正常人群。几乎5%的GD患者的评分高于AQ测量的临界值。在32名患者（6%）中，在患者档案中发现了某种ASD诊断，这是普通人群的六倍。与“出生分配的女性”相比，“出生分配的男性”受到的影响明显更多。
Quantitative studies indicate an overrepresentation of ASD in individuals with GD. This study aims to determine the prevalence of autistic traits or ASD in adults with GD using two different data collection methods: (1) cross-sectional data using the social responsiveness scale-adults (SRS-A) and the autism quotient (AQ) (n = 63). (2) Clinical chart data (n = 532). Mean SRS-A scores were significantly higher compared to a norm population. Almost 5% of the patients with GD scored above the cut-off as measured by the AQ. In 32 patients (6%), a certain ASD diagnosis was found in the patient files, which is sixfold higher compared to the general population. Significantly more "birth assigned male" were affected compared to "birth assigned female".
