青春期是一个显着的生物心理社会变化的时间，这可能是特别具有挑战性的自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的青年，有必要加强了解和准确评估青春期成熟。该研究比较了200名年龄在10.0-13.5岁之间的参与者（134名男性和66名女性）的体格检查与父母和自我报告措施。包括典型发育（TD，n=78）和ASD（n=122）的参与者。自我评估的一致性范围为轻微至一般（kappa=.17-.32），父母报告的一致性范围为轻微至中度（kappa=.21-.44）。ASD组体格检查与自我和父母报告的一致性略低于TD组。研究结果表明，青春期评估父母或孩子是不可靠的指标，精确的青春期分期。
Adolescence is a time of remarkable biopsychosocial change, which may be particularly challenging for youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), necessitating enhanced understanding and accurate assessment of pubertal maturation. The study compared physical examination to parent- and self-report measures in 200 participants (134 males and 66 females) ages 10.0-13.5 years. Both participants with typical development (TD, n=78) and ASD (n=122) were included. Concordance ranged from slight-to-fair for self-assessments (kappa=.17-.32) and slight-to-moderate for parent-report (kappa=.21-.44). Concordance of physical exam with self- and parent-report of the ASD group was somewhat lower than for the TD group. Findings indicate pubertal assessments by parent or child are not reliable indices of precise pubertal staging.
