Recent research indicates that children with autism are at increased risk of maltreatment. We examined news media reports on homicide incidents involving children with autism as victims in the United States between 2000 and 2019. Of the 52 victims studied, 47 (90.4%) were male. Age of victims ranged from 2 to 20 years (mean = 10.4 ± 5.3 years). Parents and other caregivers accounted for 63.5% and 13.5% of the perpetrators, respectively. The leading injury mechanism was gunshot wounds (23.1%), followed by drowning (19.2%), and suffocation, strangulation, or asphyxiation (19.2%). The most commonly cited contributing factor (47.1%) was overwhelming stress from caring for the autistic child. These results underscore the importance of supporting services for caregivers of children with autism.
最近的研究表明，自闭症儿童遭受虐待的风险增加。我们研究了 2000 年至 2019 年期间美国涉及自闭症儿童受害者的凶杀事件的新闻媒体报道。在所研究的 52 名受害者中，有 47 名（90.4%）为男性。受害者年龄从 2 岁到 20 岁不等（平均 10.4 ± 5.3 岁）。父母和其他照顾者分别占犯罪者的 63.5%和 13.5%。主要的受伤机制是枪伤（23.1%），其次是溺水（19.2%），以及窒息、绞杀或窒息（19.2%）。最常被引用的促成因素（47.1%）是照顾自闭症儿童的巨大压力。这些结果强调了为自闭症儿童的照顾者提供支持服务的重要性。
