Enjoyment is a fundamental component of activity participation. This study compared leisure activity enjoyment experienced by typically developing children (TD; n = 64) and those with autism spectrum disorders (ASD; n = 67) from age 6 to 13. The TD children enjoyed formal and physical activities significantly more than the children with ASD. Symptom severity was negatively related to enjoyment of overall, formal, physical and social activities. Older children with ASD enjoyed overall, informal, recreational, and self-improvement activities significantly less than younger children, but no differences were seen across TD age groups. Children with ASD enjoyed swimming significantly more than TD children. Understanding patterns of activity enjoyment is useful for being better able to address a child's motivation to participate in various life activities.
享受是活动参与的一个基本组成部分。本研究比较了6至13岁发育正常儿童(TD;n = 64)和自闭症谱系障碍(ASD;n = 67)儿童的休闲活动享受情况。TD儿童比ASD儿童更明显地享受正式活动和体育活动。症状严重程度与整体、正式、体育和社交活动的享受呈负相关。年龄较大的ASD儿童在整体、非正式、娱乐和自我提升活动方面的享受明显少于年龄较小的儿童,但TD各年龄组之间未发现差异。ASD儿童比TD儿童更喜欢游泳。了解活动享受模式有助于更好地解决儿童参与各种生活活动的动机问题。
