The aim of this study was to determine the similarities and differences in social network characteristics, satisfaction and wishes with respect to the social network between people with mild or borderline intellectual disabilities (ID), people with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and a reference group. Data were gathered from 105 young adults living independently in the community. The social networks of people with ID and ASD are more restricted than those of the reference group. Compared with the other groups, people with ASD are less often satisfied with their networks. Each group has its own characteristics, issues and wishes with respect to their social network. Practical measures to enable professionals to adapt to these issues are discussed.
本研究的目的是确定轻度或边缘性智力障碍(ID)患者、自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)患者与参照组在社交网络特征、对社交网络的满意度及愿望方面的异同。数据收集自105名独立生活在社区中的年轻人。ID患者和ASD患者的社交网络比参照组更受限。与其他组相比,ASD患者对其社交网络的满意度较低。每组在社交网络方面都有其自身特点、问题和愿望。文中讨论了使专业人员能够适应这些问题的实际措施。
