Appreciating autistic neurodiversity is important when supporting autistic people who experience distress. Specifically, use of a profiling model can reveal less visible autistic differences, including strengths and abilities. Binary logistic regressions showed that the likelihood of extreme distress responses could be interpreted based on parent-reported autistic thinking pattern profiles for 140 young people. Perspective-taking (specifically empathy), extreme demand avoidance, and over-sensory sensitivity each contributed to the combined regression models. From the clinical perspective of autism as a multi-dimensional and inter-connected construct, there may be implications for planning support and building positive self-understanding. Individually tailored adjustments and support strategies may be identified more easily after delineating variables found across four core aspects: sensory coherence, flexible thinking, perspective-taking, and regulation.
当支持感到痛苦的自闭症患者时，欣赏自闭症的神经多样性很重要。具体来说，使用分析模型可以揭示不太明显的自闭症差异，包括优势和能力。二元逻辑回归显示，根据 140 名年轻人的父母报告的自闭症思维模式特征，可以解释极端痛苦反应的可能性。换位思考（特别是同理心）、极端需求回避和过度感官敏感都为综合回归模型做出了贡献。从自闭症作为一个多维和相互关联的结构的临床角度来看，这可能对规划支持和建立积极的自我理解有影响。在描绘出四个核心方面（感官一致性、灵活思维、换位思考和调节）的变量后，可能更容易确定个性化的调整和支持策略。
