本研究的目的是评估自闭症儿童在完成标准化社会评价压力源（特里尔社会压力测试儿童版）后的生理压力和焦虑反应，记录语言能力、压力和焦虑之间的关系，并确定自闭症儿童压力和焦虑与典型发展之间的关联。结果表明，特里尔社会压力测试儿童版对于自闭症儿童来说是一种良性压力源。自闭症儿童语言能力较低并不能预测唾液皮质醇或焦虑反应。对于两组来说，压力和焦虑之间缺乏关联，这凸显了将这些术语视为单独结构的重要性。讨论了特里尔社会压力测试儿童版在评估自闭症心理社会压力方面的临床意义和有限效用。
The aims of this study were to evaluate the physiological stress and anxiety responses in children with autism following completion of a standardized, social-evaluative stressor (Trier Social Stress Test-Child version), document the relationship between verbal ability, stress, and anxiety, and determine the association between stress and anxiety in children with autism and typical development. Results demonstrated the Trier Social Stress Test-Child version to be a benign stressor for children with autism. Lower verbal ability in children with autism did not predict salivary cortisol or anxiety responses. There was a lack of association between stress and anxiety for both groups, highlighting the importance of considering these terms as separate constructs. Clinical implications and the limited utility of the Trier Social Stress Test–Child version in evaluating psychosocial stress in autism are discussed.
