Interest in autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in adulthood is increasing. Although a person may be diagnosed with ASD, the diagnosis reveals little about the individual's temperament, character, and personality. Also, relatively little is known about the personality of adults with ASD.
A reanalysis of scores on the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) administered to a group of 66 normally intelligent men aged 18-63 years, diagnosed with ASD, by individual case matching to a comparison group of 66 men from the general population drawn from the TCI manual.
Compared to the comparison group, men with ASD scored significantly higher on the scale for Harm Avoidance, and lower on Novelty Seeking, Reward Dependence, Self-Directedness, and Cooperativeness.
In this study the score pattern for temperament and character found in men with ASD by individual case matching confirms and strengthens earlier general group matching findings emerging from our 2012 study and from studies from Sweden and the Netherlands.
成年期自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）受到的关注日益增加。尽管一个人可能被诊断患有ASD，但该诊断对个体的气质、性格及个性揭示甚少。此外，对于成年ASD患者的个性了解相对较少。
对一组66名年龄在18至63岁、被诊断患有ASD的智力正常男性进行气质与性格量表（TCI）评分的重新分析，通过个体病例匹配，与从TCI手册中选取的66名普通人群男性组成的对照组进行比较。
与对照组相比，患有ASD的男性在回避伤害量表上得分显著更高，而在寻求新奇、奖励依赖、自我导向和合作性方面得分更低。
在本研究中，通过个体病例匹配发现的患有ASD男性的气质和性格得分模式，证实并强化了我们2012年研究以及瑞典和荷兰研究中早期的总体组匹配结果。
