Abstract

Purpose

Factors that may influence risk and/or vulnerability to radicalisation or involvement in terrorism by individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are currently undetermined. The purpose of this rapid evidence assessment (REA) was to identify and review studies which consider the association between ASD and terrorism to explore potential risk or vulnerability factors and the implications for intervention.

Design/methodology/approach

The REA method was used to review the literature, with 16 papers meeting inclusion criteria.

Findings

Ten factors were identified as relevant to ASD and terrorism which were combined into four overarching themes: cognitive, social, psychological and ASD traits.

Originality/value

This REA presents a novel review of literature relating to ASD and terrorism. The findings are valuable to practitioners working with individuals with ASD who may present with the identified risk and/or vulnerability factors. The implications of these factors for intervention are discussed, along with directions for future research.

自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）与恐怖主义：对风险和脆弱性因素的快速证据评估，以及对干预措施的影响

目的目前尚未确定哪些因素可能会影响自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）患者激进化或参与恐怖主义的风险和/或脆弱性。本快速证据评估（REA）的目的是确定并审查考虑自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）与恐怖主义之间关联的研究，以探索潜在的风险或脆弱性因素以及对干预措施的影响。研究结果确定了与自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）和恐怖主义相关的十个因素，并将其合并为四个总体主题：认知、社会、心理和自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）特征。研究结果对与可能具有已识别风险和/或脆弱性因素的 ASD 患者打交道的从业人员很有价值。本文讨论了这些因素对干预措施的影响，以及未来研究的方向。
