Transdiagnostic Predictors of Health-Related Quality of Life in Children with Autism and Epilepsy: A Cross-Sectional Study.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Our understanding of the transdiagnostic factors that influence health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in individuals with neurodivergent conditions is very sparse and highly siloed by diagnosis labels. Research on transdiagnostic predictors of HRQOL across neurodevelopmental conditions is needed to enable care models that address shared needs of neurodivergent individuals beyond diagnostic boundaries. Our objective was to identify transdiagnostic factors associated with HRQOL in children with autism, epilepsy, or comorbid autism/epilepsy. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 37 autistic and/or epileptic children (mean age = 9.2; SD = 3.9; boys = 28). Parents provided sociodemographic information and completed the following measures: Social Comm
