我们观察了后来被诊断为 ASD 的自闭症儿童的婴儿兄弟姐妹（ASD 兄弟姐妹；n = 17）、有或没有其他延迟的自闭症儿童的婴儿兄弟姐妹（其他延迟和无延迟兄弟姐妹；分别为 n = 12 和 n = 19）以及在 18 个月大的自由游戏任务中典型发育对照（TD 对照；n = 19）。功能性、象征性和重复的游戏动作都被编码。与 TD 对照组相比，自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）兄弟姐妹表现出更少的功能性重复游戏行为和更多的非功能性重复游戏行为。其他“延迟”和“无延迟”兄弟姐妹比 TD 控件表现出更多的非功能性重复播放。随着言语心理年龄的加入，群体差异消失了。讨论了游戏作为自闭症早期指标及其与更广泛的自闭症表型的关系。
We observed infant siblings of children with autism later diagnosed with ASD (ASD siblings; n = 17), infant siblings of children with autism with and without other delays (Other Delays and No Delays siblings; n = 12 and n = 19, respectively) and typically developing controls (TD controls; n = 19) during a free-play task at 18 months of age. Functional, symbolic, and repeated play actions were coded. ASD siblings showed fewer functional and more non-functional repeated play behaviors than TD controls. Other Delays and No Delays siblings showed more non-functional repeated play than TD controls. Group differences disappeared with the inclusion of verbal mental age. Play as an early indicator of autism and its relationship to the broader autism phenotype is discussed.
