Early and accurate identification of mental health disorders in children and adolescents with autism is of great importance for providing adequate and timely healthcare, as well as for improving the quality of life for the affected child, parents, and siblings. 

The main objective of this research project is to provide new and essential diagnostic tools for identifying co-occurring mental health disorders in children and adolescents with autism.

This will be achieved through the development, introduction, and evaluation of new diagnostic methods.
