Youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often display disruptive behavior and noncompliance. Disruptive behavior in youth with ASD may limit their participation in educational and therapeutic activities and impact family functioning. Several evidence-based interventions are available for typically developing children, such as Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). The current study examined the comparative effectiveness of PCIT for youth with ASD and without ASD. Results indicate that PCIT significantly improves parent-reported disruptive behavior in children with ASD at levels comparable to children without ASD. Additionally, improvements in ASD-related symptoms were noted for youth with ASD. These findings support the use of PCIT for children with ASD and provide clinicians with an evidence-based tool to address disruptive behavior in a wide spectrum of presenting children.
自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的年轻人经常表现出破坏性行为和不遵守规定。 ASD 年轻人的破坏性行为可能会限制他们参与教育和治疗活动，并影响家庭功能。 有几种针对正常发育儿童的循证干预措施，例如亲子互动疗法（PCIT）。 本研究比较了 PCIT 对 ASD 儿童和非 ASD 儿童的疗效。 结果表明，PCIT 可显著改善 ASD 儿童的父母报告的破坏性行为，改善程度与非 ASD 儿童相当。 此外，还观察到 ASD 儿童的 ASD 相关症状有所改善。 这些发现支持将 PCIT 用于 ASD 儿童，并为临床医生提供了一种循证工具，可用于解决各种表现儿童的破坏性行为。
