Abstract: Objective: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and common characteristics of depressive disorder among children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who received treatment at Yuwaprasart Waithayopathum Hospital, a specialized psychiatric facility. Methods: A descriptive study was conducted through retrospective medical record reviews from 2017 to 2023. Participants included 69 patients diagnosed with ASD and comorbid depressive disorder and 71 control patients with ASD but no comorbid psychiatric conditions. Data were collected using a structured record review form and analyzed using descriptive statistics and logistic regression to identify factors associated with depression. Results: The prevalence of depressive disorder in the ASD patient sample was 1.37%. Significant factors associated with depression included older age (OR = 2.05, p = 0.002), a family history of mood disorders (OR = 55.08, p = 0.035), and exposure to stressors (OR = 73.61, p = 0.001). Conclusion: The prevalence of depressive disorder in the ASD patient sample was 1.37%. Significant factors associated with depression included older age, a family history of mood disorders, and exposure to stressors. Therefore, monitoring groups with the aforementioned risk factors to plan prevention, provide early diagnosis, and initiate treatment at the onset of symptoms will benefit both patients and their families.
