患有自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的个体即使在没有压力的情况下也经常表现出焦虑。我们调查了22名ASD青少年和32名典型发展对照的一般焦虑（焦虑特质）和对压力情境（焦虑状态）的反应。我们用标准化的自我和父母报告的问卷来测量特质焦虑。我们使用Biopac系统通过皮肤电导反应、平均心率和心率变异性在高焦虑和低焦虑任务中捕捉焦虑状态。结果显示，青少年ASD患者特质焦虑水平较高（p < 0.05），状态焦虑水平无组间差异。在高压力条件下，增加的父母报告的特质焦虑可能预示着状态焦虑的减少。总之，这些发现表明，较高的特质焦虑可能会导致身体对压力的反应减弱。
Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often exhibit increased anxiety, even in non-stressful situations. We investigate general anxiousness (anxiety trait) and responses to stressful situations (anxiety state) in 22 adolescents with ASD and 32 typically developing controls. We measured trait anxiety with standardized self- and parent-reported questionnaires. We used a Biopac system to capture state anxiety via skin conductance responses, mean heart rate and heart rate variability during high- and low-anxiety tasks. Results reveal higher trait anxiety in adolescents with ASD (p < 0.05) and no group difference in state anxiety. Increased parent-reported trait anxiety may predict decreased state anxiety during high-stress conditions. Together, these findings suggest that higher trait anxiety may result in dampened physical responses to stress.
