This study explored whether high autistic traits, high attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) traits and their interaction were associated with quality of life (QoL) in a sample of 556 of young-adult twins (Mean age 22 years 5 months, 52% Female). Four participant groups were created: high autistic traits, high ADHD traits, high autistic/ADHD traits, and low ADHD/autistic traits. High autistic traits were associated with lower QoL across domains (physical, psychological, social, and environmental). High ADHD traits associated with lower physical, psychological, and environmental QoL. The interaction of autistic and ADHD traits was not significant in any domain. While mental health difficulties were associated with lower QoL, after accounting for mental health, most relationships between autistic traits, ADHD traits and QoL remained.
本研究探讨了在 556 名年轻成年双胞胎样本中（平均年龄 22 岁 5 个月，52%为女性），高自闭症特质、高注意缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）特质及其相互作用是否与生活质量（QoL）有关。研究创建了四个参与者组：高自闭症特质组、高 ADHD 特质组、高自闭症/ADHD 特质组和低 ADHD/自闭症特质组。高自闭症特质与各领域（身体、心理、社会和环境）的生活质量较低有关。高 ADHD 特质与较低的身体、心理和环境生活质量有关。自闭症和 ADHD 特质的相互作用在任何领域都不显著。虽然心理健康问题与较低的生活质量有关，但在考虑到心理健康问题后，自闭症特质、ADHD 特质与生活质量之间的大多数关系仍然存在。
