Much of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) research for individuals with autism spectrum disorder has focused on young children. Given that the lives, communication, strengths, and needs of adolescents and adults with autism spectrum disorder are quite different from those of young children, the purpose of the current study was to consolidate current AAC intervention research findings specific to these individuals. A systematic review was conducted to identify and evaluate relevant research. Results indicate that AAC intervention benefits adolescents and adults with autism spectrum disorder. However, more research is urgently needed. Future research focused on supporting communicative functions other than requesting (e.g., social closeness, information transfer) while participating in contexts important to the lives of adolescents and adults may be particularly valuable.
针对自闭症谱系障碍患者的大部分辅助及替代沟通（AAC）研究都集中在幼儿身上。鉴于自闭症谱系障碍青少年和成年人的生活、沟通方式、优势及需求与幼儿有很大不同，本研究的目的是整合目前针对这些个体的AAC干预研究结果。我们进行了一项系统综述以识别和评估相关研究。结果表明，AAC干预对自闭症谱系障碍青少年和成年人有益。然而，迫切需要更多研究。未来聚焦于在参与对青少年和成年人生活至关重要的情境时支持除请求之外的沟通功能（例如社交亲密感、信息传递）的研究可能特别有价值。
