This study extended the research on correlates of adaptive functioning of high-functioning children with autism spectrum disorder (HFASD) using the Behavior Assessment System for Children-Second Edition (BASC-2). Specifically, this study investigated the relationships between adaptive behavior and age, IQ, and ASD symptomology, in a well-characterized sample of 119 children with HFASD, ages 6-11 years. Results revealed age and IQ were not significantly correlated with adaptive ability. However, total autism symptoms [measured by the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R)], as well as ASD-social symptoms were negatively correlated with adaptive ability. Mean comparisons revealed that participants falling into the clinically-significant range of the BASC-2 Adaptive Skills Composite (ASC) displayed significantly greater levels of both overall and social ASD symptoms.
本研究使用儿童行为评估系统第二版（BASC - 2）扩展了对高功能自闭症谱系障碍（HFASD）儿童适应性功能相关因素的研究。具体而言，本研究在一个由119名年龄在6至11岁的HFASD儿童组成的特征明确的样本中，调查了适应性行为与年龄、智商和自闭症谱系障碍症状之间的关系。结果显示，年龄和智商与适应能力没有显著相关性。然而，总的自闭症症状[通过修订版自闭症诊断访谈（ADI - R）测量]以及自闭症谱系障碍的社交症状与适应能力呈负相关。均值比较显示，在BASC - 2适应性技能综合量表（ASC）临床显著范围内的参与者，其整体和社交自闭症谱系障碍症状水平显著更高。
