There exists now a body of research that describes case studies of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who have engaged, or are alleged to have engaged, in a range of illegal behaviours, and that attempts to estimate the prevalence of ASD at different stages of the criminal justice process. Taken together, this research does suggest that some individuals with ASD will come into contact with the criminal justice system, but many questions regarding this apparent association remain unanswered. The purpose of this review is to propose a direction for research to address some of these unanswered questions and potentially inform the development of treatments and service provision.
目前有一批研究描述了患有自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的个体参与或被指控参与一系列非法行为的案例研究，并试图估计刑事司法程序不同阶段的ASD患病率。综合来看，这项研究确实表明一些患有ASD的个体将会与刑事司法系统产生接触，但关于这种明显关联的许多问题仍未得到解答。本综述的目的是为研究提出一个方向，以解决其中一些未解答的问题，并可能为治疗方法的开发和服务提供提供参考。
