Incontinence, psychological symptoms, parental stress and psychopathology were examined in 51 children (43 boys, mean age = 9.7 years) presented in an outpatient clinic for autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and in 53 matched controls (43 boys, mean age = 10.2 years). All children were clinically assessed for ASD, incontinence and psychopathology according to current guidelines. ASD was confirmed in 37 children and excluded in 14. Enuresis (16.2%) and daytime urinary incontinence (16.2%), but not fecal incontinence (8.2%) were more common in ASD than in controls. Children with ASD showed significantly more comorbid psychiatric disorders. Parents of children with ASD experience more stress. Parental stress was predicted by parental psychopathology, role restriction and group (patient/control), but not by incontinence.
在一家自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的门诊诊所，对 51 名儿童（43 名男孩，平均年龄 9.7 岁）和 53 名匹配的对照组儿童（43 名男孩，平均年龄 10.2 岁）进行了失禁、心理症状、父母压力和精神病理学检查。所有儿童均根据现行指南对 ASD、失禁和精神病理学进行临床评估。37 名儿童被确诊为 ASD，14 名儿童被排除在外。遗尿症（16.2%）和日间尿失禁（16.2%）在 ASD 儿童中比对照组更常见，但无粪便失禁（8.2%）。患有 ASD 的儿童表现出更多的共患精神障碍。ASD 儿童的父母经历更多的压力。父母压力由父母的精神病理学、角色限制和组（患者/对照）来预测，但与失禁无关。
