为了检验谱系假设——假设临床和非临床样本主要通过平均水平差异来区分——本研究评估了低症状组（N = 81）、高症状组（N = 94）和对照组（N = 500）在父母评定的气质、人格和适应不良方面的差异。这些经典的谱假设检验通过增加方差相似性、可靠性和相关变量之间协变模式的检验而得到扩展。自闭症儿童表现出更极端的手段，除了支配。低症状和高症状的asd组主要通过平均社交能力和内部痛苦来区分。在可靠性和变量共变模式上的惊人相似性表明，在低症状和高症状的ASD儿童以及有和没有自闭症的儿童中，可比较的过程将特征与适应不良联系起来。
To test the spectrum hypothesis-postulating that clinical and non-clinical samples are primarily differentiated by mean-level differences-, this study evaluates differences in parent-rated temperament, personality and maladjustment among a low-symptom (N = 81), a high-symptom (N = 94) ASD-group, and a comparison group (N = 500). These classic spectrum hypothesis tests are extended by adding tests for similarity in variances, reliabilities and patterns of covariation between relevant variables. Children with ASD exhibit more extreme means, except for dominance. The low- and high-symptom ASD-groups are primarily differentiated by mean sociability and internal distress. Striking similarities in reliability and pattern of covariation of variables suggest that comparable processes link traits to maladaptation in low- and high-symptom children with ASD and in children with and without autism.
