A review of current literature indicates that adults diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) feel the need for intimate and sexual relationships and maintain such relationships despite and alongside their difficulties in emotional communication, social interactions, reciprocity, and verbal and non-verbal expression. This understanding calls for the development of intervention programs designed to support the specific needs and address the problems of couples where one partner is diagnosed with ASD. In view of the relevance and significant part played by body and movement in emotional development and psychotherapy, the present article offers a review of studies examining the contribution of dance movement therapy to both the quality of life and functioning of adults with ASD and therapeutic processes in couple therapy. This review aims to establish an infrastructure for the construction of intervention programs and for future studies designed to enhance the quality of life and independence of adults with ASD.
对当前文献的综述表明，被诊断患有自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的成年人有建立亲密和性关系的需求，尽管他们在情感沟通、社交互动、互惠以及言语和非言语表达方面存在困难，但仍能维持此类关系。这种认识促使人们开发干预项目，以支持特定需求，并解决夫妻中一方被诊断患有ASD的问题。鉴于身体和动作在情感发展和心理治疗中的相关性及重要作用，本文对相关研究进行了综述，这些研究探讨了舞蹈动作疗法对患有ASD的成年人的生活质量和功能以及夫妻治疗中的治疗过程的贡献。本综述旨在为构建干预项目以及未来旨在提高患有ASD的成年人的生活质量和独立性的研究建立一个基础架构。
