This article needs to be updated. The reason given is: "with catatonia" is a specifier for a DSM-5 ASD diagnosis and the article should reflect more recent research that lead to the inclusion of this specifier, which is uncommon and places catatonia on the same level as intellectual and language impairment. Please help update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information.(July 2023)
Autistic catatonia is a term used to describe the occurrence of catatonia in autistic people.[1] Catatonia occurs in roughly 10 percent of people diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder.[2] In addition to the common sign of catatonia (posturing, negativism, mutism, and stupor), autistic people with catatonia are more likely to stim and self-harm.[3]: 60
The DSM-5 lists "with catatonia" as one of the possible specifiers for an autism spectrum disorder diagnosis.[3]: 57
