沉思对精神病理学有很大的直接影响，但在自闭症谱系障碍中受到的关注相对较少，尽管在这个人群中有持续的倾向。这项研究提供了初步的证据表明，自闭症谱系障碍的青少年自我报告更多的愤怒为重点的沉思比典型的发展控制，虽然有大量的组内变异。愤怒反刍与自闭症症状的严重程度呈正相关，两组合并。未来的研究，包括对特殊利益的持续性措施，需要了解愤怒反刍是否是一种持续性类型的重复行为或一个独特的特质的表现。然而，即使控制了自闭症症状的严重程度，以愤怒为中心的沉思也与更差的功能有关，包括更多的抑郁症状和整体情绪和行为失调。因此，进一步调查自闭症谱系障碍中的愤怒反刍在临床上是重要的，并且应该探索以反刍为重点的干预措施的潜在影响。
Rumination has a large direct effect on psychopathology but has received relatively little attention in autism spectrum disorder despite the propensity to perseverate in this population. This study provided initial evidence that adolescents with autism spectrum disorder self-report more anger-focused rumination than typically developing controls, though there was substantial within-group variability. Anger rumination was positively correlated with autism symptom severity with both groups combined. Future studies that include measures of perseveration on special interests are needed to understand whether anger rumination is a manifestation of a perseverative type of repetitive behavior or a distinct trait. Even when controlling for autism symptom severity, however, anger-focused rumination was associated with poorer functioning, including more depression symptoms and overall emotional and behavioral dysregulation. Therefore, further inquiry regarding anger rumination in autism spectrum disorder is clinically important, and the potential impact of rumination-focused interventions should be explored.
