Abstract

Lay abstract: Autistic people are more likely than non-autistic people to experience mental health difficulties. The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire is often used to screen for these difficulties and to otherwise make important decisions about mental health treatment and research in populations of autistic people. However, this study suggests that parent-reported Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire scores may not be useful for comparing autistic and non-autistic adolescents at 11, 14 and 17 years old, as well as screening for mental health conditions in autistic adolescents. In addition, several items may be more likely to be endorsed by parents of autistic 17-year-olds than by parents of non-autistic 17-year-olds (and vice versa), which might suggest caution is needed when comparing groups on specific items.

家长报告的自闭症青少年优势与困难问卷的测量不变性。

内容提要：自闭症患者比非自闭症患者更容易出现心理健康问题。优势与困难问卷通常用于筛查这些困难，并在自闭症人群的心理健康治疗和研究方面做出重要决策。然而，本研究表明，家长报告的优势与困难问卷得分对于比较 11、14 和 17 岁的自闭症青少年和非自闭症青少年以及筛查自闭症青少年的精神健康状况可能并无用处。此外，与 17 岁非自闭症青少年的家长相比，17 岁自闭症青少年的家长可能更倾向于认可一些项目（反之亦然），这可能表明在对特定项目进行分组比较时需要谨慎。
