This pilot study investigated driving history and driving behaviors between adults diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) as compared to non-ASD adult drivers. Seventy-eight licensed drivers with ASD and 94 non-ASD comparison participants completed the Driver Behavior Questionnaire. Drivers with ASD endorsed significantly lower ratings of their ability to drive, and higher numbers of traffic accidents and citations relative to non-ASD drivers. Drivers with ASD also endorsed significantly greater numbers of difficulties on the following subscales: intentional violations, F(1, 162) = 6.15, p = .01, η p (2) = .04; mistakes, F(1, 162) = 10.15, p = .002, η p (2) = .06; and slips/lapses, F(1, 162) = 11.33, p = .001, η p (2) = .07. These findings suggest that individuals with ASD who are current drivers may experience more difficulties in driving behaviors and engage in more problematic driving behaviors relative to non-ASD drivers.
这项初步研究调查了被诊断患有自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的成年人与非ASD成年驾驶员之间的驾驶历史和驾驶行为。78名患有ASD的持证驾驶员和94名非ASD对照参与者完成了驾驶员行为问卷。与非ASD驾驶员相比，患有ASD的驾驶员对自己驾驶能力的评分明显较低，交通事故和罚单数量较多。患有ASD的驾驶员在以下子量表上也认可了明显更多的困难：故意违规，F(1, 162) = 6.15，p = .01，η p (2) = .04；失误，F(1, 162) = 10.15，p = .002，η p (2) = .06；以及疏忽/失误，F(1, 162) = 11.33，p = .001，η p (2) = .07。这些发现表明，目前仍在开车的ASD患者相对于非ASD驾驶员，在驾驶行为上可能会遇到更多困难，并表现出更多有问题的驾驶行为。
