孤独症儿童比非孤独症儿童更容易受到欺负。然而，根据自闭症诊断观察表（ADOS）测量，社交困难较少的自闭症儿童更有可能报告被欺负。具有较强社交技能的自闭症儿童不仅更有可能识别和报告欺凌事件，而且他们也更有可能与非自闭症同龄人互动，增加他们成为受害者的可能性。自闭症女孩可能特别容易遭受欺凌，因为越来越多的研究表明，自闭症女孩比自闭症男孩表现出更少的社会困难和更强的社会动机。在这里，我们探讨了报告的问题与同龄人和欺凌受害者之间的自闭症和非自闭症男孩和女孩的仔细匹配的样本。定性方法进一步实施，以获得更全面的了解自闭症男孩和女孩的社会经验。 这项混合方法的研究分析了58名自闭症儿童（29名女孩）与42名非自闭症儿童（21名女孩）的年龄和智商的转录临床评估。在每个诊断组中，男孩和女孩在ADOS严重程度评分上匹配。我们比较了报告的问题与同龄人和欺凌受害跨性别和诊断。在自闭症儿童中，我们进一步研究了ADOS社会情感（SA），限制性重复行为和严重程度分数是否预测了与同龄人和欺凌受害的问题。然后，我们确定了与个人受害经历有关的主题。自闭症儿童比非自闭症儿童更有可能经历欺凌受害，而ADOS严重程度和SA评分较低的自闭症儿童更有可能报告被欺凌。虽然自闭症男孩和女孩报告类似的欺凌受害水平，定性分析显示，性别差异的潜在原因的同伴冲突。本研究为次要数据分析。关于ADOS的标准化问题集限制了儿童提供的关于其同伴关系的信息量，后续问题的变化可能会影响儿童的回答。虽然自闭症儿童与非自闭症同龄人相比，自闭症儿童遭受欺凌的风险更大，但自闭症儿童面临的更大社会挑战与受害率较低有关。这项研究进一步强调了使用混合方法的重要性，发现自闭症女孩和男孩的社会经验中的细微差别，可能成为支持的机会。
Autistic children report higher levels of bullying victimization than their non-autistic peers. However, autistic children with fewer social difficulties, as measured on the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS), are more likely to report being bullied. Autistic children with stronger social skills may not only be more likely to identify and report incidents of bullying, but they may also be more likely to interact with their non-autistic peers, increasing their likelihood of being victimized. Autistic girls may be especially at-risk of experiencing bullying victimization, as a growing body of research suggests that autistic girls demonstrate fewer social difficulties and are more socially motivated than autistic boys. Here, we explored reported problems with peers and bullying victimization among a carefully matched sample of autistic and non-autistic boys and girls. Qualitative methods were further implemented to gain a more holistic understanding of the social experiences of autistic boys and girls. This mixed-methods study analyzed the transcribed clinical evaluations of 58 autistic children (29 girls) matched to 42 non-autistic children (21 girls) on age and IQ. Within each diagnostic group, boys and girls were matched on ADOS severity score. We compared reported problems with peers and bullying victimization across sex and diagnosis. Among autistic children, we further examined whether ADOS social affect (SA), restricted repetitive behaviors, and severity scores predicted problems with peers and bullying victimization. We then identified themes related to personal experiences of victimization. Autistic children were more likely than non-autistic children to have experienced bullying victimization, and autistic children with lower ADOS severity and SA scores were more likely to report having been bullied. While autistic boys and girls reported similar levels of bullying victimization, qualitative analyses revealed sex differences in the underlying causes of peer conflict. This study was a secondary data analysis. The standardized set of questions on the ADOS limited the amount of information that children provided about their peer relationships, and variations in follow-up questions may have influenced children’s responses. Although autism symptomatology places autistic children at greater risk for bullying victimization compared to their non-autistic peers, greater social challenges among autistic children are associated with lower rates of victimization. This study further highlights the importance of using mixed-methods approaches to discover nuances in the social experiences of autistic girls and boys that may become opportunities for support.
