Abstract

To trace the sociodemographic and clinical profile of children with dual diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Observational, cross-sectional and descriptive study with a quantitative approach, based on the information present in the medical records of children between 3 and 14 years old of both genders diagnosed with ADHD and ASD attended at the Service of Attention in Rehabilitation (SABER) located in Belém do Pará. Most of the sample was composed of participants between 7-10 years (63.4%), male (78%), maternal age (43.9%) within the risk margin for diagnosis (> 35 years). Significant results were observed for Paternal age (p=0.035), type of delivery (p=0.034) and follow-up time (p=0.029) when related to patient gender. No relevance was found between clinical characteristics and family income (p>0.05). The study showed the association between the sociodemographic and clinical profile, which was higher in full-term male children who had a late diagnosis for the pathologies and with risk factors related to the age of the parents over 35 years.
