In the postoperative, the participants considered active had the lowest score on the general scale, as well as in all subdimensions (p< 0.001), and the ones with higher education presented better scores in physical effort subdimension (p= 0.041).

We used Florida healthcare claims data to characterize sex differences (female/male) in co-occurring conditions among autistic children ages 1-21 (N = 83,500).
