The intersection and developmental trajectory of morning cortisol and testosterone in autistic and neurotypical youth
Collectively, these findings underscore the need to elucidate the biobehavioral patterns that emerge during the complex adolescent transition for autistic youth to determine how they impact clinical and long-term outcomes. The unique hormonal trajectories may be related to differences in advanced pubertal progression and affective states found in autistic females.
