Behavioral symptomatology was compared in 26 children and adolescents with Autistic Disorder ("autism") and 25 children and adolescents with Pervasive Developmental Disorder, Not Otherwise Specified ("PDD-NOS"). Relative to individuals with PDD-NOS, those with autism had more symptoms of depression, social withdrawal, atypical behavior, and immature social skills--and fewer family problems. These differences remained even when group differences in intellectual ability were statistically controlled. No group differences emerged in somatization, anxiety, or hyperactivity. Findings suggest that although both groups demonstrate considerable evidence of behavioral and emotional problems, those with autism are at particularly high risk for comorbid behavioral and emotional disabilities.
对26名患有自闭症障碍(“自闭症”)的儿童和青少年与25名患有广泛性发育障碍未特定型(“PDD-NOS”)的儿童和青少年的行为症状学进行了比较。相对于患有PDD-NOS的个体,患有自闭症的个体有更多抑郁、社交退缩、非典型行为和不成熟社交技能的症状——且家庭问题更少。即使在智力能力的组间差异进行统计学控制后,这些差异仍然存在。在躯体化、焦虑或多动方面未出现组间差异。研究结果表明,尽管两组都有相当多的行为和情绪问题证据,但患有自闭症的个体患合并行为和情绪障碍的风险特别高。
