Key Points

  • Autistic children were 4.33 times more likely to develop PTSD than their non-autistic peers, indicating significant mental health risks.
  • Probable PTSD prevalence was 10% among autistic children, while it was only 2.5% in non-autistic children, emphasizing disparity.
  • Among the sample, females showed a higher PTSD prevalence (5.9%) compared to males (4.5%), underscoring gender differences.
  • Ages 8-9 years had the highest probable PTSD cases (66.66%), suggesting increased vulnerability as children grow.
