Factor analytic studies have been conducted to examine the inter-relationships and degree of overlap among symptoms in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This paper reviewed 36 factor analytic studies that have examined ASD symptoms, using 13 different instruments. Studies were grouped into three categories: Studies with all DSM-IV symptoms, studies with a subset of DSM-IV symptoms, and studies with symptoms that were not specifically based on the DSM-IV. There was consistent support for a common social/communication domain that is distinct from a restricted and repetitive behaviours and interests domain. Implications for symptom conceptualization and diagnosis in ASD are discussed.
已经开展了因素分析研究，以检验自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）症状之间的相互关系和重叠程度。本文回顾了36项使用13种不同工具对ASD症状进行检验的因素分析研究。这些研究被分为三类：涉及所有《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第四版（DSM-IV）症状的研究、涉及DSM-IV部分症状的研究以及涉及并非专门基于DSM-IV的症状的研究。对于一个与受限的重复行为及兴趣领域不同的共同社交/沟通领域，存在一致的支持意见。文中讨论了其对ASD症状概念化和诊断的影响。
