越来越多的证据表明，在公共心理健康和教育系统中很少采用或成功实施有效的自闭症干预措施。我们建议应用创新扩散理论来进一步理解为什么会出现这种情况。我们提出了一组管理员在决定使用干预措施时所面临的实际问题。使用自闭症干预和传播科学的文献，我们描述了为什么有效的自闭症干预措施很少被采用，实施和维持在社区环境中，所有围绕干预和环境的需求和能力之间的感知适合的原因。最后，我们提出了干预发展的策略，可能会增加这些干预措施将在现实世界中使用的概率。
There is growing evidence that efficacious interventions for autism are rarely adopted or successfully implemented in public mental health and education systems. We propose applying diffusion of innovation theory to further our understanding of why this is the case. We pose a practical set of questions that administrators face as they decide about the use of interventions. Using literature from autism intervention and dissemination science, we describe reasons why efficacious interventions for autism are rarely adopted, implemented, and maintained in community settings, all revolving around the perceived fit between the intervention and the needs and capacities of the setting. Finally, we suggest strategies for intervention development that may increase the probability that these interventions will be used in real-world settings.
