目的：ASD患儿父母的第一个关注点的调查以及与其他发育障碍患儿的比较是稀缺的。方法：本研究采用了一个被诊断为ASD或其他发育迟缓的幼儿样本，并检查了父母第一个关注点的性质以及第一个关注点的年龄与第一次评估年龄的比较。结果：大多数被诊断为ASD和非ASD相关发育迟缓的幼儿的父母表示，首先关注的领域是沟通。然而，对于ASD诊断的幼儿来说，首次关注的年龄明显更小。此外，有一个显着的正相关关系，在关注的年龄是第一次注意到，并在评估searched.Conclusion：这些研究结果的影响进行了讨论，因为它们涉及到早期评估和干预的年龄。
Objective: Investigations about first concerns among parents of toddlers with ASD and comparisons of the same with children diagnosed with other developmental disorders are scarce.Method: The current study utilized a sample of toddlers diagnosed with an ASD or other developmental delay and examined the nature of parents' first concern and the age of first concern compared to the age of first assessment.Results: The majority of parents of both toddlers diagnosed with ASD and non-ASD related developmental delays indicated that the area of first concern was in communication. However, the age of first concern was significantly younger for toddlers with an ASD diagnosis. In addition, there was a significant positive correlation between the age at which concerns were first noted and the age at which assessment was sought.Conclusion: The implications of these findings are discussed as they relate to early assessment and intervention.
