我们研究了22个月大的幼儿与患有自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的哥哥姐姐和低风险典型发育幼儿与哥哥姐姐的关系。对一个哭闹的婴儿和一个假装伤害她手指的成年社交伙伴的反应是编码的。与低风险幼儿相比，后来诊断为ASD的儿童在任何一种情况下都表现出有限的移情关注。没有后来诊断的高风险幼儿介于ASD和低风险组之间。在婴儿哭闹的调查中，没有诊断的低风险和高风险幼儿比患有ASD的幼儿更经常地与父母接触。低水平的移情关注和与父母的接触可能是幼儿期出现ASD的信号。
We examined concern for others in 22-month-old toddlers with an older sibling with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and low risk typically-developing toddlers with older siblings. Responses to a crying infant and an adult social partner who pretended to hurt her finger were coded. Children with a later diagnosis of ASD showed limited empathic concern in either context compared to low risk toddlers. High risk toddlers without a later diagnosis fell between the ASD and low risk groups. During the crying baby probe the low risk and high risk toddlers without a diagnosis engaged their parent more often than the toddlers with ASD. Low levels of empathic concern and engagement with parents may signal emerging ASD in toddlerhood.
