尽管它们在自闭症中的高患病率和临床重要性，但不寻常和受限的兴趣仍然没有得到充分的研究和理解。本研究以237名自闭症儿童和青少年为样本（年龄= 8.27岁，年龄= 4.07岁，范围：2.08-18.25岁），通过对照顾者的开放式回答进行编码，以表征自闭症兴趣的频率和类型。该研究进一步探讨了年龄、性别、认知功能以及社交和沟通缺陷对兴趣数量和类型的影响。我们发现75%的自闭症青少年至少有一种兴趣，其中50%的孩子表现出两种或更多不同的兴趣。最常见的兴趣是基于感官的（43%），其中大多数兴趣与视觉形态有关。对车辆/交通工具、虚构人物、电视/DVD/电影、电脑和视频游戏、建筑、机械物体、动物和植物的兴趣以及对特定物体的依恋也很普遍。逻辑回归显示，作为男性，同时患有智力障碍和更严重的社交和沟通障碍，更有可能有一种或多种限制兴趣。性别与限制性兴趣的类型显著相关（χ2= 37.52, Phi= 0.37, p= 0.021），女性对创造性兴趣的比例显著高于男性，对角色、车辆/交通工具、电脑/视频游戏、机械物体和建设性兴趣的比例显著高于男性。讨论了理论和测量意义。
Despite their high prevalence and clinical importance in autism, unusual and restricted interests remain under-researched and poorly understood. This study aimed to characterize the frequency and type of interests in autism by coding caregivers’ open-ended responses in a sample of 237 autistic children and adolescents (Mage= 8.27 years, SDage= 4.07; range: 2.08–18.25 years). It further aimed to explore the effects of age, sex, cognitive functioning and social and communication deficits on the number and type of interests. We found that 75% of autistic youth had at least one interest and that 50% of those children showed two or more different interests. The most frequent interests were sensory-based (43%), with a majority of these interests relating to the visual modality. Interest within vehicles/transportation, fictional characters, TV/DVD/movies, computers and video games, constructive, mechanical objects, animals and plants, and attachment to specific objects were also prevalent. Logistic regression showed that being male, having a co-occurring intellectual disability and having more severe social and communication impairments were associated with a higher probability of having one or more restricted interests. Sex was significantly associated with the type (χ2= 37.52, Phi= .37, p= .021) of restricted interests, with females showing a significantly higher percentage of creative interests and males significantly higher percentage of interest in characters, vehicles/transportation, computers/video games, mechanical objects and constructive interests. Theoretical and measurement implications are discussed.
