Children with autism are at high risk for experiencing a mental health crisis, which occurs when psychiatric and behavioral symptoms become a danger and caregivers do not have the resources to safely manage the event. Our current mental health systems of care are not fully prepared to manage crisis in autistic individuals, due to the shortage of available mental health providers and programs that are tailored for autistic children. However, new strategies to address crisis are gradually emerging. This article provides a framework to define crisis and implement prevention and intervention approaches that could potentially mitigate risk for crisis.
自闭症儿童面临着心理健康危机的高风险，当精神和行为症状变得危险，而照顾者没有资源安全管理事件时，就会发生这种情况。由于现有的心理健康提供者短缺，以及为自闭症儿童量身定制的项目不足，我们当前的精神保健系统还没有完全准备好应对自闭症患者的危机。然而，解决危机的新策略正在逐渐出现。本文提供了一个定义危机的框架，并实施预防和干预方法，这些方法可能会降低危机的风险。
