使用自闭症谱商 (AQ) 儿童版测量患有躯体症状障碍 (SSD, n=28) 的儿童的自闭症亚临床特征，并与年龄匹配的对照 (n=26) 进行比较。 KINDLR 生活质量问卷用于评估功能障碍。虽然自闭症总体特征没有显着的组间差异，但SSD组在注意转换领域的困难明显更大。逻辑回归分析证实注意力转换和年龄与 SSD 可能性增加相关。在 SSD 组中，注意力转换困难与总分、家人和朋友的生活质量得分显着负相关。总之，针对注意力转换困难的评估和治疗在治疗 SSD 儿童时可能会有用。
Subclinical traits of autism were measured in children with somatic symptom disorder (SSD, n=28) and compared with age-matched controls (n=26) using the Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) children's version. The KINDLR quality of life questionnaire was used to assess functional disability. Although there was no significant group difference in total traits of autism, SSD group had significantly greater difficulty in attention switching domain. Logistic regression analysis confirmed attention switching and age were associated with increased likelihood of SSD. In SSD group, difficulty in attention switching significantly negatively correlated with total, family, and friends quality of life scores. In conclusion, assessment and treatment targeting difficulties in attention switching could be useful when dealing with children with SSD.
