研究背景自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）和轻度至边缘性智力障碍（ID）儿童的适应行为较轻度至边缘性ID儿童少，行为问题较多。社会信息加工是解释轻度至边缘性ID儿童社会性不足行为的重要机制;然而，对ASD和轻度至边缘性ID儿童的社会信息处理技能知之甚少。26例患有ASD（特别是广泛性发育障碍-未另行说明）和轻度至边缘性ID，54例患有轻度至边缘性ID，无ASD，56例为典型发育男孩。他们完成了社会问题解决测试，以衡量他们的社会信息处理能力。结果研究结果显示，患有PDD-NOS和轻度至边缘ID的男孩在信息编码方面与正常发育的男孩不同;他们专注于负面和情感信息在社会情境中。他们与轻度至边缘性ID的男孩在反应生成、对不充分解决方案的评价方面存在差异结论本研究扩展了我们对ASD儿童（PDD-NOS）和轻度至边缘性ID儿童的社会信息加工的认识，这些知识可能有助于设计和调整方案。（例如社交技巧训练、自我管理训练），以管理自闭症和轻度至边缘性智障儿童的行为问题和发展适应行为。
BackgroundChildren with autistic spectrum disorders (ASD) and mild to borderline intellectual disability (ID) have less adaptive behaviour and more behaviour problems than children with mild to borderline ID. Social information processing appears to be an important mechanism in the explanation of the socially inadequate behaviour of children with mild to borderline ID; however, little is known about the social information processing skills of children with ASD and mild to borderline ID.MethodIn the present study, a total of 136 boys in the age of 10-14 years participated; 26 with ASD (specifically Pervasive Developmental Disorder - Not Otherwise Specified) and mild to borderline ID, 54 with mild to borderline ID without ASD and 56 typically developing boys. They completed the Social Problem Solving Test to measure their social information processing.ResultsThe research results show boys with PDD-NOS and mild to borderline ID to differ from typically developing boys in their encoding of information; they focus on negative and emotional information in the social situation. They differ from boys with mild to borderline ID in response generation, evaluation of inadequate solutions (aggressive and submissive responses) and assertive response decision.ConclusionsThe present study extends our knowledge regarding social information processing of children with ASD (PDD-NOS) and mild to borderline ID. This knowledge may be helpful in designing and adapting programmes (e.g. social skills training, self-management training) for the management of behaviour problems and development of adaptive behaviour of children with ASD and mild to borderline ID.
