Despite high clinical burden and frequent tertiary referrals, comparative data describing clinical characteristics, management and outcomes between children with and without ASD\u2014and across ASD severity levels\u2014remain limited. This study compared constipation outcomes at 1 year and the most recent follow\u2010up between children with and without ASD and assessed whether autism severity influenced prognosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      We retrospectively analysed children with chronic constipation managed through a tertiary motility service and enrolled as of 31 January 2024.
