我们在最近发表在四种著名杂志上的146项干预研究中确定了自闭症(或自闭症谱系障碍)参与者的报告年龄。大多数参与者的年龄在2岁到8岁之间，其中只有1.7%的人年龄在20岁或以上。这些发现表明，自闭症老年人的特殊需求几乎没有引起研究人员的兴趣，这可以说是一个不幸的疏忽。(C)2011爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
We determined the reported ages of participants with autism (or autism spectrum disorders) in 146 intervention research studies published recently in four prominent journals. Most participants were between two and eight years of age and only 1.7% of them were 20 or more years of age. These findings suggest that the special needs of older people with autism have generated little interest among researchers, which is arguably an unfortunate oversight. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
