This study examined differences in internalizing and externalizing behaviors between school-aged boys and girls diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Eighty-nine children between the ages of 8 and 16 years participated in this study: 17 girls (M = 11.5 years, SD = 2.3) and 72 boys (M = 11.3 years, SD = 2.2). Participants were matched on the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second Edition and Full-Scale IQ (FSIQ > 64). The results indicated that, girls had higher reported instances of Bullying, less Anger Control, and poorer Emotional Self-Control than boys on the Behavior Assessment System for Children, Second Edition. Groups did not differ on subscales of the Social Communication Scale. While evidence of increased externalizing behaviors is less common in girls, there is evidence supporting these differing behaviors that warrant further research.
本研究考察了被诊断为自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的学龄期男孩和女孩在内化和外化行为上的差异。本研究共有 89 名 8 至 16 岁的儿童参与：17 名女孩（M=11.5 岁，SD=2.3）和 72 名男孩（M=11.3 岁，SD=2.2）。参与者在自闭症诊断观察量表第二版和全量表智商（FSIQ>64）上进行匹配。结果表明，在儿童行为评估系统第二版中，女孩比男孩报告更多的欺凌行为、较少的愤怒控制和较差的情绪自我控制。两组在社会沟通量表的子量表上没有差异。虽然女孩中较少出现外化行为增加的证据，但有证据支持这些不同的行为，值得进一步研究。
