Despite speculation about an 80% divorce rate among parents of children with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), very little empirical and no epidemiological research has addressed the issue of separation and divorce among this population. Data for this study was taken from the 2007 National Survey of Children's Health, a population-based, cross-sectional survey. A total of 77,911 parent interviews were completed on children aged 3-17 years, of which 913 reported an ASD diagnosis. After controlling for relevant covariates, results from multivariate analyses revealed no evidence to suggest that children with ASD are at an increased risk for living in a household not comprised of their two biological or adoptive parents compared to children without ASD in the United States.
尽管有人猜测自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）儿童的父母离婚率高达 80%，但很少有实证研究或流行病学研究关注这一人群的分居和离婚问题。本研究的数据来自于 2007 年全国儿童健康调查，这是一项基于人群的横断面调查。共完成了 77911 名 3-17 岁儿童家长的访谈，其中 913 名报告了 ASD 诊断。在控制了相关协变量后，多变量分析的结果表明，与美国没有 ASD 的儿童相比，ASD 儿童生活在不包括其亲生或养父母在内的家庭中的风险并没有增加。
