OBJECTIVE
The aim of the current study was to examine the effects of symptom severity of ASD and symptom severity of inattention and impulsivity in toddlers to determine the potential impact on social skills.
METHODS
A total of 240 toddlers diagnosed with ASD, ranging in age from 17-36 months, were included in this study. Parents or legal guardians were administered measures assessing for symptoms of ASD, symptoms of psychopathology and social skills.
RESULTS
A significant interaction was found, indicating that toddlers with less severe symptoms of ASD and of inattention/impulsivity had better social skills. In contrast, toddlers with more severe symptoms of ASD and inattention/impulsivity had the most deficits in social skills.
CONCLUSION
These results further confirm that a multidimensional approach to assessment is needed and that comorbid psychopathology symptoms and social skills targets should be a focus of assessment and intervention.
目的
本研究旨在探讨自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）症状严重程度以及幼儿注意力不集中和冲动症状严重程度对社交技能的潜在影响。
方法
本研究共纳入240名年龄在17至36个月之间、被诊断为ASD的幼儿。研究人员对家长或法定监护人进行了评估，以测量ASD症状、精神病理学症状和社交技能。
结果
研究发现了显著的交互作用，这表明ASD症状以及注意力不集中/冲动症状较轻的幼儿具有更好的社交技能。相比之下，ASD症状以及注意力不集中/冲动症状较严重的幼儿在社交技能方面存在最多的缺陷。
结论
这些结果进一步证实，需要采用多维评估方法，且共病的精神病理学症状和社交技能目标应成为评估和干预的重点。
