自我决定（SD）与自主性和更好的成年结果有关。患有自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的成年人往往比认知匹配的同龄人更不独立。鉴于抑郁症在ASD中共同发生的频率以及抑郁症与SD之间的既定关联，我们试图评估ASD严重程度和抑郁症对有认知能力的新生ASD成人SD的影响。新出现的ASD成年患者（n= 59）完成了SD、ASD严重程度和抑郁的测量。ASD严重程度和抑郁症均与SD（分别为r=-0.473;-0.423）以及彼此（r= 0.625）中度相关。在控制了ASD的严重程度后，抑郁并不能显著预测SD。在拟订促进独立性的方案时应考虑加强可持续发展。
Self-determination (SD) is linked to autonomy and better adult outcomes. Adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are often less independent than cognitively matched peers. Given the frequency with which depression co-occurs in ASD and the established association between depression and SD, we sought to evaluate the influence of both ASD severity and depression on SD among cognitively able emerging adults with ASD. Emerging adults (n= 59) with ASD completed measures of SD, ASD severity, and depression. Both ASD severity and depression were moderately correlated with SD (r= − 0.473; − 0.423, respectively) and with each other (r= 0.625). After controlling for ASD severity, depression did not significantly predict SD. Strengthening SD should be considered in programming to promote independence.
