过去的研究表明，自闭症儿童及其家庭在几个领域的生活质量（QOL）受到影响。本研究探讨了生活质量和父母的关注自闭症儿童在幼儿期，儿童期和青春期相比，儿童注意力缺陷障碍/注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADD/ADHD）和典型的控制从美国国家样本。与患有ADD/ADHD或未受影响的对照组儿童的家庭相比，患有自闭症儿童的家庭报告了更深刻的QOL影响。自闭症儿童参加宗教仪式的可能性明显降低，更有可能缺课，也不太可能参加有组织的活动。与对照组相比，自闭症组的父母对学习困难、被欺负、压力应对和成就的担忧是压倒性的。
Past research has shown that children with autism and their families have compromised quality of life (QOL) in several domains. This study examined QOL and parental concerns in children with autism during early childhood, childhood, and adolescence compared to children with Attention Deficit Disorder/Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADD/ADHD) and to typical controls from a US national sample. Families with children diagnosed with autism reported more profound QOL effects than families of children with ADD/ADHD or unaffected controls. Children with autism were significantly less likely to attend religious services, more likely to miss school, and less likely to participate in organized activities. Parental concerns over learning difficulty, being bullied, stress-coping, and achievement were overwhelming in the autism group relative to the comparison groups.
