背景共病精神病理和压力被认为可能是解释某些自闭症特征和重复行为之间关系的中介。本研究旨在探讨共病精神病理、执行功能障碍和压力在某些自闭症特征与重复行为之间的中介作用。方法对43名患有自闭症和智力障碍的成年人进行一系列问卷调查，包括自闭症特征、重复行为、压力、执行功能障碍和共病精神病理。结果我们发现，当作为共病的一组维度时，执行功能障碍和压力介导或解释了自闭症症状对重复行为的影响。总模型解释了60%的重复行为变化(R=0.60； F=13.64， P
BackgroundComorbid psychopathology and stress were considered possible mediators that may explain the relationship between some autistic traits and repetitive behaviours. The current study sought to examine the mediational effects of comorbid psychopathology, executive dysfunctions and stress in the relationship between some autistic traits and repetitive behaviours.MethodA battery of questionnaires including measures of autistic traits, repetitive behaviours, stress, executive dysfunctions and comorbid psychopathology were administered to a sample of adults with autism and intellectual disabilities (n=43).ResultsWe found that when taken as set dimensions of comorbidity, dysexecutive functioning and stress mediated or explained the effects of autistic symptoms on repetitive behaviour. The total model explained 60% of the variation in repetitive behaviours (R=0.60; F=13.64, P
