一项新的研究表明，自闭症儿童的时间处理可能会中断，尽管对日常生活中与时间有关的行为知之甚少。在本研究中，113名自闭症儿童的父母和201名神经正常儿童（7-12岁）的父母完成了关于时间的问卷和关于他们孩子与时间有关的行为的开放式问题。自闭症患者的问卷得分低于神经型患者，这表明行为受到影响。使用主题分析确定了三个关键主题：自闭症儿童在时间知识方面存在问题，学习与时间有关的概念，例如如何使用时钟和语言。自闭症儿童在展望未来方面存在差异，他们在如何看待未来以及为即将到来的事件做准备方面有更多的困难。最后一个主题是单向性，描述了自闭症儿童如何将时间视为宝贵的，以便他们能够最大限度地参与他们的兴趣。目前的研究表明，与时间有关的行为可能对自闭症儿童及其家庭的日常生活产生相当大的影响。进一步的工作探索自闭症的时间认知的发展将是有价值的针对有效的教育和临床支持。许多日常活动需要我们根据时间来组织我们的行为。有证据表明，自闭症儿童在感知和理解时间方面存在问题。然而，目前对此知之甚少，或者与时间相关的行为在日常生活中受到影响的方式。在这项研究中，113名自闭症儿童的父母和201名神经正常儿童的父母完成了一份关于他们孩子与时间有关的行为的问卷和开放式问题。自闭症儿童的问卷得分低于神经型儿童，这表明自闭症儿童与时间有关的行为受到影响。开放式答复进一步证实，自闭症儿童与时间作斗争，这对他们和他们的家庭产生了影响。确定了三个关键主题。主题一：自闭症儿童在学习与时间有关的概念方面存在问题，例如从时钟上说出时间和使用词语来描述时间（小时、分钟等）。适当地。主题二：自闭症儿童对未来的思考方式不同。在时间压力下进行规划和工作被认为是一个问题。主题三：自闭症儿童有强烈的兴趣，这些兴趣占用了他们很多的注意力，担心没有足够的时间去追求这些兴趣，导致焦虑。这项研究表明，与时间有关的行为可能对自闭症儿童的生活产生相当大的影响，可能需要有针对性的支持。
An emerging body of research suggests that temporal processing may be disrupted in autistic children, although little is known about behaviours relating to time in daily life. In the present study, 113 parents of autistic and 201 parents of neurotypical children (aged 7–12 years) completed the It’s About Time questionnaire and open-ended questions about their child’s behaviour relating to time. The questionnaire scores were lower in the autistic compared with the neurotypical group, suggesting that behaviours are affected. Three key themes were identified using thematic analysis: autistic children had problems with temporal knowledge, learning about concepts relating to time, such as how to use the clock and language around time. There were differences in prospection with autistic children having more difficulties with how they thought about the future and prepared themselves for upcoming events. The final theme, monotropism, described how autistic children viewed their time as precious so they could maximise engagement in their interests. The present study indicates that behaviours relating to time can have a considerable impact on the daily lives of autistic children and their families. Further work exploring the development of temporal cognition in autism would be valuable for targeting effective educational and clinical support. Many everyday activities require us to organise our behaviours with respect to time. There is some evidence that autistic children have problems with how they perceive and understand time. However, little is currently known about this, or the ways in which behaviours related to time are impacted in daily life. In this study, 113 parents of autistic children and 201 parents of neurotypical children completed a questionnaire and open-ended questions about their child’s behaviour relating to time. Questionnaire scores were lower in the autistic group compared with neurotypicals, which suggests that behaviours relating to time are affected in autistic children. The open-ended responses further confirmed that the autistic children struggled with time and that this impacted on them and their family. Three key themes were identified. Theme 1: autistic children have problems with learning about concepts relating to time such as telling the time from a clock and using words to describe time (hours, minutes, etc.) appropriately. Theme 2: autistic children think about the future differently. Planning and working under time pressure were described as a problem. Theme 3: autistic children have strong interests which take up a lot of their attention and worrying about having sufficient time to pursue these interests causes anxiety. This research indicates that behaviours related to time can have a considerable impact on the lives of autistic children and that targeted support may be required.
