Abstract
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) experience high rates of social stress and anxious arousal. Preliminary evidence suggests that companion animals can act as buffers against the adverse effects of social stress in adults. We measured continuous physiological arousal in children with ASD and typically developing (TD) children in a social context during four conditions: (a) a baseline of reading silently, (b) a scripted classroom activity involving reading aloud, (c) free play with peers and toys, and (d) free play with peers and animals (guinea pigs). Our results confirmed heightened arousal among children with ASD compared to TD children in all conditions, except when the animals were present. Children with ASD showed a 43% decrease in skin conductance responses during free play with peers in the presence of animals, compared to toys. Thus, animals may act as social buffers for children with ASD, conferring unique anxiolytic effects.
摘要
患有自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的儿童经历社会压力和焦虑唤醒的比率很高。初步证据表明，伴侣动物可以作为成年人社会压力负面影响的缓冲器。我们在四种情况下测量了患有ASD的儿童和发育正常（TD）儿童在社交环境中的持续生理唤醒：（a）默读基线，（b）涉及大声朗读的脚本化课堂活动，（c）与同伴和玩具自由玩耍，以及（d）与同伴和动物（豚鼠）自由玩耍。我们的结果证实，与TD儿童相比，患有ASD的儿童在所有情况下的唤醒都有所增强，但动物在场时除外。与有玩具时相比，患有ASD的儿童在有动物在场的情况下与同伴自由玩耍时皮肤电导反应降低了43%。因此，动物可能是患有ASD儿童的社会缓冲器，具有独特的抗焦虑作用。
