Results of a study observing autistic children's interactions with nonhandicapped and autistic peers are reported. Six 8- to 12-year-old autistic children played in dyads with younger, normally developing kindergarten children and with nonhandicapped peers matched on chronological age for 10 15-minute sessions spaced over 3 weeks and then with a playmate of the alternate age for another 10 sessions. After intervention, all subjects showed gains in proximity, orientation, and responsiveness when playing with nonhandicapped peers and with autistic classmates. Same-age nonhandicapped playmates initiated more frequently than did younger nonhandicapped playmates and were better able to modify their initiations in ways that increased the likelihood of response from the autistic children.
报告了一项观察自闭症儿童与非残疾同伴及自闭症同伴互动情况的研究结果。六名8至12岁的自闭症儿童与年龄较小、发育正常的幼儿园儿童以及与按实际年龄匹配的非残疾同伴结成对子玩耍，为期10次，每次15分钟，分3周进行，之后再与另一年龄的玩伴进行10次玩耍。干预后，所有受试者在与非残疾同伴及自闭症同学玩耍时，在接近程度、方向和反应能力方面都有进步。同龄的非残疾玩伴比年龄较小的非残疾玩伴发起互动的频率更高，并且更善于以增加自闭症儿童回应可能性的方式调整他们的发起行为。
