In a controlled observational study of young autistic children ages 3 to 5, responses to parental prohibition were compared to those of mental-age-matched mentally retarded and normal children. The children were prohibited from eating a candy offered to them by the experimenter. Behavioral response, affect, and gaze patterns were compared across the three groups. Autistic children exhibited significantly less compliant behavior than did children in the two control groups; this behavior correlated with chronological age, not with mental age, language development, or parental behavior. Although affect and gaze patterns of the autistic children were different from the controls, these patterns were not correlated with compliant behavior. In conclusion, when compared to mental-age-matched control groups, autistic children are significantly less compliant to parental prohibition and they show different gaze and affect patterns.
在一项针对3至5岁自闭症幼儿的对照观察研究中，将他们对父母禁令的反应与心理年龄匹配的智障儿童和正常儿童的反应进行了比较。实验者给孩子们提供了糖果，禁止他们食用。对三组儿童的行为反应、情感和注视模式进行了比较。自闭症儿童表现出的顺从行为明显少于两个对照组的儿童；这种行为与实际年龄相关，而与心理年龄、语言发展或父母行为无关。虽然自闭症儿童的情感和注视模式与对照组不同，但这些模式与顺从行为无关。总之，与心理年龄匹配的对照组相比，自闭症儿童对父母禁令的顺从性明显较低，并且表现出不同的注视和情感模式。
