The purpose of this study was to identify the specific aspects of social engagement that distinguish infants with autism from infants of similar age and developmental level who do not have autism. Ten parents of preschoolers with autism and 10 parents of matched children without autism were given a semistructured interview, the Detection of Autism by Infant Sociability Interview (DAISI), which elicits reports on whether 19 aspects of social engagement characteristic of typically developing infants were present at some time during the child's first 24 months. The reports of infants with autism differed from those of the control group on 16 items. Findings suggest that infants with autism have marked limitation in both person-to-person and person-person-object social engagement, in keeping with the theory that autism involves impairments in primary as well as secondary intersubjectivity (Hobson, 1993a).
本研究的目的是确定社交参与的具体方面，这些方面能够将自闭症婴儿与年龄和发育水平相似但无自闭症的婴儿区分开来。对10名自闭症学龄前儿童的家长和10名匹配的无自闭症儿童的家长进行了半结构化访谈，即婴儿社交能力自闭症检测访谈（DAISI），该访谈引出了关于在儿童出生后的前24个月内，典型发育婴儿社交参与的19个方面在某个时间是否存在的报告。自闭症婴儿在16个项目上的报告与对照组不同。研究结果表明，自闭症婴儿在人与人以及人与物的社交参与方面都存在明显限制，这与自闭症涉及原发性和继发性主体间性障碍的理论相符（霍布森，1993a）。
