背景促进儿童友谊发展的一种方法是与同龄人一起参加活动。然而，残疾儿童似乎较少参与这些活动，当他们确实参与时，通常主要是与成年人一起参与。材料和方法本研究比较了典型发育迟缓(TD)儿童(n=90)、自闭症谱系障碍儿童(n=65)和智力残疾儿童(n=30)在5至17岁之间的活动参与和友谊。家长对其子女参与社交、娱乐和休闲活动的情况进行问卷调查。结果TD儿童参与社交和娱乐活动的次数明显多于残疾儿童，朋友也明显多于残疾儿童。在儿童与同龄人、父母和/或其他成年人一起参加活动的百分比方面，各群体之间出现了显著的差异。结论关于活动参与的研究不仅应该继续考虑儿童是否参与活动，而且应该更准确地探索这些活动是与谁一起进行的。
BackgroundOne method of promoting children's friendship development is through activity participation with peers. However, children with disabilities seem to engage in fewer of these activities, and when they do participate often do so primarily with adults.Materials and MethodsThis study compared activity participation and friendship in typically developing (TD) children (n = 90), children with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD; n = 65), and children with an intellectual disability (n = 30) between the ages of 5 and 17 years. Parents completed a questionnaire about their child's participation in social, recreational and leisure activities.ResultsThe TD children participated in significantly more social and recreational activities and had more friends than the children with disabilities. Notable differences emerged among groups in the percentage of activities the children participated in with peers, parents and/or other adults. Some significant differences were noted between the ASD and intellectual disability groups.ConclusionsResearch concerning activity participation should continue to take into account not only whether children are engaging in activities, but explore more precisely 'with whom' these activities are occurring.
