这项关于敏感性和依恋的研究包括 55 名幼儿及其父母。样本包括患有自闭症谱系障碍 (ASD)、智力低下、语言迟缓和典型发育的儿童。儿童在 4 岁时被诊断出。诊断前两年，使用陌生情境程序评估依恋，并使用情绪可用性量表评估父母的敏感性和自由玩耍期间儿童的参与度。自闭症谱系障碍儿童的父母与非自闭症谱系障碍儿童的父母同样敏感，但他们的孩子表现出更多的依恋紊乱和更少的儿童参与。更敏感的父母有更安全的孩子，但仅限于没有自闭症谱系障碍的群体。社交领域中不太严重的自闭症症状预示着更多的依恋安全感。自闭症挑战了依恋理论的有效性。
This study on sensitivity and attachment included 55 toddlers and their parents. Samples included children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), mental retardation, language delay, and typical development. Children were diagnosed at 4 years of age. Two years before diagnosis, attachment was assessed with the Strange Situation procedure, and parental sensitivity and child involvement during free play were assessed with the Emotional Availability Scale. Parents of children with ASD were equally sensitive as parents of children without ASD, but their children showed more attachment disorganization and less child involvement. More sensitive parents had more secure children, but only in the group without ASD. Less severe autistic symptoms in the social domain predicted more attachment security. Autism challenges the validity of attachment theory.
