In order to investigate the experience of anxiety and restricted and repetitive behaviours (RRB) in young people with ASD, 19 families with young people with ASD aged between 13 and 20 years completed questionnaire measures of RRB, anxiety, and intolerance of uncertainty. Ten young people also completed a novel semi-structured interview exploring an individualised example of an RRB. Findings demonstrated that young people with ASD can self-report and show insight in to their RRB, and replicated previous findings based on parent report showing a significant positive relationship between RRB and anxiety. This is the first evidence of young person self-report using both quantitative and qualitative data and indicates a range of reasons why young people may engage in RRB.
为了调查 ASD 青少年的焦虑和受限及重复行为（RRB）体验，19 个有 13 至 20 岁 ASD 青少年的家庭完成了 RRB、焦虑和不确定性容忍度的问卷测量。其中 10 位年轻人还完成了一项探索特定 RRB 的新颖半结构化访谈。研究结果表明，ASD 青少年可以自我报告并深入了解他们的 RRB，并且复制了之前基于家长报告的发现，表明 RRB 和焦虑之间存在显著的正相关关系。这是首次使用定量和定性数据进行青少年自我报告的证据，并表明了青少年从事 RRB 的一系列原因。
