Military families relocate three times more often than non-military families. Those whom have children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder face challenges related to inconsistencies in services, delay of services, and lack of continuity of care. The current study expands the limited research examining the experiences of military families with children with Autism by focusing on impact of relocation, specifically identifying potential causes of delays in services. An online survey of 25 military caregivers of children with autism suggests potential delays in service related to provider waitlists, obtaining new referrals, and lengthy intake processes. The impact of these inconsistencies is discussed in relation to child progress and the need for future research in this area.
军人家庭的搬迁频率比非军人家庭高三倍。那些孩子被诊断患有自闭症谱系障碍的家庭面临着与服务不一致、服务延迟以及缺乏护理连续性相关的挑战。本研究通过关注搬迁的影响，特别是确定服务延迟的潜在原因，扩展了对患有自闭症儿童的军人家庭的经验的有限研究。一项针对 25 名患有自闭症儿童的军人照顾者的在线调查表明，服务延迟与提供者候补名单、获得新推荐以及冗长的入组过程有关。这些不一致的影响与儿童的进步有关，并需要在这一领域进行未来的研究。
