This study aimed to describe police interactions, satisfaction with police engagement, as well as examine correlates of police involvement among 284 adolescents and adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) followed over a 12- to 18-month period. Approximately 16% of individuals were reported to have some form of police involvement during the study period. Aggressive behaviors were the primary concern necessitating police involvement. Individuals with police involvement were more likely to be older, have a history of aggression, live outside the family home, and have parents with higher rates of caregiver strain and financial difficulty at baseline. Most parents reported being satisfied to very satisfied with their children's police encounters. Areas for future research are discussed in relation to prevention planning.
本研究旨在描述警察的互动情况、对警察参与的满意度，以及在 12 至 18 个月的随访期间，调查 284 名自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）青少年和成年人中与警察介入相关的因素。在研究期间，约有 16%的个体被报告存在某种形式的警察介入。需要警察介入的主要原因是攻击性行为。有警察介入的个体更有可能年龄较大、有攻击史、居住在家庭以外、父母在基线时的照顾者压力和经济困难程度更高。大多数父母报告对孩子与警察的接触非常满意或满意。未来的研究领域将涉及预防规划。
