注意力缺陷/多动障碍(ADHD)症状影响着40%-60%的自闭症儿童，并与适应行为的差异有关。目前尚不清楚自闭症青少年的适应行为是直接受到ADHD症状共同出现的影响，还是受到自闭症和ADHD的另一个相关特征的影响，例如易怒增加。目前的研究调查了3-7岁自闭症儿童的易怒、ADHD症状和适应行为之间的关系。结果表明，在调整了共同出现的ADHD症状后，更高水平的易怒与社会适应行为的差异特别相关。了解自闭症儿童易怒、ADHD和适应行为之间的关系至关重要，因为适应行为的衡量标准，如Vineland适应性功能量表，经常被用作全球功能的替代指标，以及在临床试验中作为主要终点制定干预计划和测量结果。
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms affect 40–60% of autistic children and have been linked to differences in adaptive behavior. It is unclear whether adaptive behavior in autistic youth is directly impacted by co-occurring ADHD symptoms or by another associated feature of both autism and ADHD, such as increased irritability. The current study examined relationships between irritability, ADHD symptoms, and adaptive behavior in 3- to 7-year-old autistic children. Results suggest that, after adjusting for co-occurring ADHD symptoms, higher levels of irritability are associated with differences in social adaptive behavior specifically. Understanding relationships between irritability, ADHD, and adaptive behavior in autistic children is critical because measures of adaptive behavior, such as the Vineland Scales of Adaptive Functioning, are often used as a proxy for global functioning, as well as for developing intervention plans and measuring outcomes as primary endpoints in clinical trials.
