Abstract

Objective To explore the characteristics of attention and social development of boys with autism spectrum disordes(ASD),and to analyze the correlation between them. Methods Totally 37 boys with ASD were recruited from psychiatrist department for children and adolescents of Shanghai Mental Health Center from July 2015 to July 2016. All participants were assessed by Autism Behavior Checklist (ABC),Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire Parents' Version (SDQ),and the social development and play part of Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R). Results In ASD group,the sensory,relating,body and object use,language and social/self help subscale scores of ABC were positively correlated with SDQ emotional problems,hyperactivity/inattention,peer problems and total difficulties score (P<0.01). The scores of range of facial expression used to communicate,imitative social play,interest in children,offering comfort,quality of social overture and inappropriate facial expressions were negatively correlated with prosocial behavior subscale of SDQ (P<0.01). Conclusions ASD boys have significant defect in social and play abilities such as direct gaze,social smiling,group play with peers,showing and directing attention,seeking to share enjoyment with others. Early detection is helpful for screening and intervention.
