Autistic children experience significantly higher rates of anxiety compared to nonautistic children. The precise relations between autism characteristics and anxiety symptoms remain unclear in this population.

We addressed this gap by taking a network approach to understand the shared structure of autism characteristics and anxiety symptoms.
