A key area of concern in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are self-injurious behaviors (SIBs). These are behaviors that an individual engages in that may cause physical harm, such as head banging, or self-biting. SIBs are more common in children with ASD than those who are typically developing or have other neurodevelopmental disabilities. Therefore, it is important that clinicians who work with children with ASD have a solid understanding of SIB. The purpose of this paper is to review the research on the epidemiology of SIB in children with ASD, factors that predict the presence of SIB in this population, and the empirically supported behavioral treatments available.
自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)儿童中一个关键的关注领域是自伤行为(SIBs)。这些行为是个体所从事的可能导致身体伤害的行为,如撞头或自残。与典型发育儿童或患有其他神经发育障碍的儿童相比,自伤行为在自闭症谱系障碍儿童中更为常见。因此,与自闭症谱系障碍儿童打交道的临床医生深入了解自伤行为非常重要。本文的目的是综述关于自闭症谱系障碍儿童自伤行为的流行病学研究、预测该人群中自伤行为存在的因素,以及现有的经实证支持的行为治疗方法。
