Introduction: Autism and ADHD shape behaviours related to food, exercise, body image, potentially influencing obesity treatment outcomes, as seen in eating disorder research. Resultantly, autistic patients with may have distinct experiences differences compared non-autistic non-ADHD patients. This review maps existing literature on autism adults obesity. Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, six databases (Embase, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Web of Science, CENTRAL, Scopus) were searched for studies and/or (diagnosed, probable, or traits) Screening data extraction conducted twice independently each record. Results: Thirty-one included, 1,027,773 participants. Two case reports described successful use weight loss drugs people Eight prevalence suggested is overrepresented obesity, regardless binge status. Nineteen examined clinical profiles: had lower socioeconomic status, poorer health-related quality life, increased impulsivity, cognitive inflexibility, neuroticism, alongside agreeableness, conscientiousness, self-directedness, cooperativeness. also exhibited higher psychopathology, problematic alcohol use, disordered eating. assessed responses, noting outcomes from behavioural programs pharmacotherapy, but similar post-surgical despite complications. considered ADHD-specific adaptions, one reporting a trial medication the other switching transdermal medications after bariatric surgery. Conclusions: underscores need more research For ADHD, findings suggest frequent co-occurrence lived tailored interventions remain underexplored.
