- Adolescents with oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) and conduct disorder (CD) show impaired emotional processing compared to typically developing individuals (TDI), indicating they struggle with detecting emotional valence in images.
- Both clinical groups (ODD/CD and autism spectrum disorder) performed worse than TDIs on emotional tasks; however, only TDIs had significant difficulty distinguishing between positive and neutral images.
- Higher levels of callous-unemotional traits in youths with ODD/CD and ASD were associated with poorer emotional detection, suggesting a potential link between these traits and the diminished ability to process positive stimuli.
The aim of the current study was to compare levels of oxytocin, cortisol, and testosterone in adolescents with either autism spectrum disorder (ASD), or oppositional defiant disorder (ODD)/conduct disorder (CD), and in typically developing individuals (TDI), and relate hormone levels to severity and subtype of aggression and callous-unemotional (CU) traits. Saliva concentrations of oxytocin, cortisol, and testosterone were assessed in 114 male participants (N = 49 ASD, N = 37 ODD/CD, N = 28 TDI,) aged 12-19 years (M = 15.4 years, SD = 1.
