Childhood neurodivergent traits, inflammation and chronic disabling fatigue in adolescence: a longitudinal case–control study by Neil A Harrison, Hugo D Critchley, Jessica Eccles, Kevin A Davies, Lisa Quadt, Rod Bond, Jenny Csecs

“…Inflammation at age 9 years mediated effects of neurodivergent traits on chronic disabling fatigue (indirect effect via IL-6: ADHD b=1.08 (95% CI=1.01 to 1.15); autism b=1.06; (95% CI=1.03 to 1.10)). All effects remained significant when controlling for the presence of depressive symptoms.Conclusions Our results indicate higher risk of chronic disabling fatigue for children with neurodivergent traits, likely linked to higher levels of inflammation. …”
