尽管有人猜测自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）儿童的父母离婚率为80%，但很少有实证研究和流行病学研究解决了这一人群中的分居和离婚问题。这项研究的数据来自2007年全国儿童健康调查，这是一项基于人口的横断面调查。共有77，911名3-17岁儿童的父母接受了采访，其中913名报告了ASD诊断。在控制了相关协变量后，多变量分析的结果显示，与美国没有ASD的儿童相比，没有证据表明ASD儿童生活在没有两个亲生父母或养父母的家庭中的风险增加。
Despite speculation about an 80% divorce rate among parents of children with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), very little empirical and no epidemiological research has addressed the issue of separation and divorce among this population. Data for this study was taken from the 2007 National Survey of Children's Health, a population-based, cross-sectional survey. A total of 77,911 parent interviews were completed on children aged 3-17 years, of which 913 reported an ASD diagnosis. After controlling for relevant covariates, results from multivariate analyses revealed no evidence to suggest that children with ASD are at an increased risk for living in a household not comprised of their two biological or adoptive parents compared to children without ASD in the United States.
