In spite of increasing interest in cognitive behaviour therapy for emotional disorders in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), little research has explored the relevance of the cognitive model in this population. This study explores dysfunctional attitudes and perfectionism in boys with ASD and the relationship with anxious and depressive symptoms. Compared to a typically developing group (n = 42), boys with ASD (n = 41) endorsed more dysfunctional attitudes and reported higher emotional symptoms. The relationship between emotional and cognitive variables was weak in both groups, although in the ASD group dysfunctional attitudes were significantly associated with reported obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Reasons for elevated dysfunctional attitudes in the ASD group are discussed and the roles of cognitive inflexibility and social impairments are explored.
尽管人们对自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）儿童的情绪障碍认知行为疗法越来越感兴趣，但很少有研究探讨认知模型在这一人群中的相关性。本研究探讨了 ASD 男孩的不良态度和完美主义，以及与焦虑和抑郁症状的关系。与典型发育组（n = 42）相比，ASD 男孩（n = 41）更认同不良态度，并报告了更高的情绪症状。两组的情绪和认知变量之间的关系较弱，尽管在 ASD 组中，不良态度与报告的强迫症状显著相关。讨论了 ASD 组中不良态度升高的原因，并探讨了认知灵活性和社交障碍的作用。
