Abstract
Primary: To investigate whether autistic adolescents and young adults report a higher frequency (e.g., counts, prevalence, incidence) of MSK pain compared to those without autism? Secondary: To investigate whether autistic adolescents and young adults report a higher impact (e.g. severity, disability, function, quality of life) of MSK pain compared to those without autism? Tertiary: To explore whether other factors influence (e.g. confound, mediate, moderate) the potential association between autism and MSK pain.
