This study investigated the longitudinal relation between autistic traits in childhood (T1; age 10-12 years) and parent-reported psychosexual problems in early adolescence (T2; age 12-15 years). In a general population cohort study (n = 1873; the Tracking Adolescents\u2019 Individual Lives Survey (TRAILS)), autistic traits and psychosexual problems were determined. Logistic regression analyses were used to investigate whether childhood autistic traits, in individuals displaying no psychosexual problems in childhood, predicted the presence of psychosexual problems in adolescence, while controlling for pubertal development and conduct problems. Higher levels of autistic traits at T1 significantly predicted mild psychosexual problems at T2, above and beyond pubertal development and conduct problems. Particularly two dimensions of autistic traits at T1 were significant predictors; i.e. \u2018reduced contact\/social interest\u2019 and \u2018not optimally tuned to the social situation\u2019. Children with autistic traits \u2013 especially those with limited social interest and social regulation problems \u2013 showed to have a higher risk to develop psychosexual problems, albeit mild, in early adolescence as reported by parents. Although we showed that autistic traits predict psychosexual problems, it is only one of multiple predictors.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1362361314547114","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,6]],"date-time":"2014-09-06T02:15:21Z","timestamp":1409969721000},"page":"684-693","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["The longitudinal relation between childhood autistic traits and psychosexual problems in early adolescence: The Tracking Adolescents\u2019 Individual Lives Survey study"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Linda P","family":"Dekker","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry\/Psychology, Erasmus University MC - Sophia, The Netherlands"},{"name":"Yulius, Organization for Mental Health, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Catharina A","family":"Hartman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, University Medical Center Groningen, University of Groningen, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Esther JM","family":"van der Vegt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry\/Psychology, Erasmus University MC - Sophia, The Netherlands"},{"name":"Yulius, Organization for Mental Health, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Frank C","family":"Verhulst","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry\/Psychology, Erasmus University MC - Sophia, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Floor VA","family":"van Oort","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry\/Psychology, Erasmus University MC - Sophia, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kirstin","family":"Greaves-Lord","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry\/Psychology, Erasmus University MC - Sophia, The Netherlands"},{"name":"Yulius, Organization for Mental Health, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1362361314547114","volume-title":"Manual for the Child Behavior Checklist 2-3, 1992 Profile","author":"Achenbach TM","year":"1991"},{"key":"bibr2-1362361314547114","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1023\/A:1026048320785"},{"key":"bibr3-1362361314547114","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10803-011-1293-y"},{"key":"bibr4-1362361314547114","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1469-7610.1994.tb02300.x"},{"key":"bibr5-1362361314547114","volume-title":"Children with Sexual Behavior Problems: Assessment and Treatment-Final Report (Grant No. 90-CA-1469)","author":"Bonner BL","year":"1999"},{"key":"bibr6-1362361314547114","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10803-014-2093-y"},{"key":"bibr7-1362361314547114","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ridd.2009.09.006"},{"key":"bibr8-1362361314547114","volume-title":"Report of the Task Force on Children with Sexual Behavior Problems","author":"Chaffin M","year":"2006"},{"key":"bibr9-1362361314547114","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/CHI.0b013e318193069e"},{"key":"bibr10-1362361314547114","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.biopsych.2004.12.014"},{"key":"bibr11-1362361314547114","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1196\/annals.1308.001"},{"key":"bibr12-1362361314547114","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10654-004-4948-6"},{"key":"bibr13-1362361314547114","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0012-1649.26.2.322"},{"key":"bibr14-1362361314547114","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1469-7610.2004.00387.x"},{"key":"bibr15-1362361314547114","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/074355489381003"},{"key":"bibr16-1362361314547114","first-page":"107","volume":"7","author":"Friedrich WN","year":"2003","journal-title":"Sexual Development in Childhood"},{"key":"bibr17-1362361314547114","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/1040-3590.4.3.303"},{"key":"bibr18-1362361314547114","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1469-7610.2011.02456.x"},{"key":"bibr19-1362361314547114","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2011-3668"},{"key":"bibr20-1362361314547114","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00006842-199309000-00007"},{"key":"bibr21-1362361314547114","volume-title":"VISK.
