Previous data have suggested that parents of boys with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may rate their sons' generalised anxiety disorder (GAD) more severely than the boys do themselves. However, no reports have been published to date which examine this issue in a girls-only sample. This study investigated the extent and nature of mother-daughter agreement on ratings of GAD in a sample of 53 girls with an ASD with mild impairment, aged 6 to 17 years. Mothers rated their daughters' GAD more severely than the girls did themselves, despite confounding effects from the girls' medication and menarche status. Suggestions are made for the valid assessment of GAD in girls with an ASD.
先前的数据表明,自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)男孩的父母可能比男孩自己更严重地评定其广泛性焦虑症(GAD)。然而,迄今为止,尚无研究报告在仅女孩的样本中检验这一问题。本研究调查了在 53 名轻度自闭症女孩样本中,母亲对女儿广泛性焦虑症评定的程度和性质,这些女孩年龄在 6 至 17 岁之间。尽管受到女孩药物治疗和初潮状态的混杂影响,母亲对女儿 GAD 的评定仍比女儿自己更严重。为了对自闭症女孩的 GAD 进行有效评估,提出了一些建议。
