Abstract Depression is often associated with dysfunction in the
hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and autonomic nervous system (ANS).
Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may experience physiological
dysregulation and psychological comorbidities; however, the extent to which the
interactions between these systems predict internalizing symptoms in ASD has not
been investigated. The study examined interactions with the HPA axis and ANS in
10-13-year-old children with ASD (n?=?41) and typical development (TD; n?=?46).
The interrelated systems uniquely contributed to depressive symptoms in ASD
above and beyond any system in isolation. A reciprocal, parasympathetic-dominant
ANS was related to fewer affective symptoms in ASD. Findings highlight the
importance of examining arousal across multiple systems to more precisely
identify profiles associated with maladaptive psychiatric outcomes in ASD.
