Parents of individuals with autism were examined using the Broad Autism Phenotype Questionnaire (BAPQ; Hurley et al. in J Autism Dev Disord 37:1679-1690, 2007) assessing BAP-related personality and language characteristics. The BAPQ was administered to parents as a self-report and as an informant (spouse)-based measure. Results indicated the same pattern of differences for the informant and best-estimate (average between self-report and informant scores) reports. Fathers were rated as more "aloof" than mothers, whereas mothers were rated as more "rigid" than fathers. Fathers described their wives as less "aloof" and more "rigid" compared to the mothers' self-descriptions. Correlational analyses revealed no significant associations among parent/child characteristics and parents' BAPQ scores. Results are discussed in reference to sex differences in BAP-related characteristics in parents of children with autism.
使用 Broad Autism Phenotype Questionnaire（BAPQ；Hurley 等人，发表于 J Autism Dev Disord 37：1679-1690，2007）评估与 BAP 相关的人格和语言特征，对自闭症个体的父母进行了检查。BAPQ 以自我报告和配偶（信息提供者）为基础的两种方式提供给父母。结果表明，信息提供者和最佳估计（自我报告和信息提供者得分的平均值）报告的差异模式相同。与母亲相比，父亲被评为更“冷漠”，而母亲则比父亲被评为更“刻板”。与母亲的自我描述相比，父亲描述他们的妻子不那么“冷漠”，更“刻板”。相关分析显示，父母/子女特征与父母的 BAPQ 得分之间没有显著关联。研究结果与自闭症儿童父母的 BAP 相关特征中的性别差异有关。
