Background  Autistic personality traits (APT) and schizotypal personality traits (SPT) are associated with depression. However, mediating factors within these relationships have not yet been explored. Thus, the focus of the current study was to examine the effects of childhood neglect on the relationship between APT/SPT and depression.    Methods  This cross-sectional study was conducted on first-year students ( N  = 2469) at Hunan University of Chinese Medicine and Hengyang Normal College (Changsha, China). Participants completed surveys on APT, SPT, childhood neglect, abuse and depression.    Results  Through correlational analyses, APT and SPT traits were positively correlated with childhood neglect and depression ( p  < 0.05). In a hierarchical regression analysis, among types of childhood maltreatment, emotional neglect (β = 0.112,  p  < 0.001) and physical neglect (β = 0.105,  p  < 0.001) were the strongest predictors of depression. Childhood neglect did not account for the relationships between APT/SPT and depression. Further analysis found that childhood neglect mediated the relationship between SPT and depression but not APT and depression.    Conclusions  Among types of childhood maltreatment, neglect was the strongest predicting factor for depression. Neglect did not account for the relationship between APT/SPT and depression but was a strong mediating factor between SPT and depression.
