Abstract

Participation in Organised Extracurricular Social Activities (OESA) can provide positive outcomes for children. This study investigated whether children aged 4 to 12 years diagnosed with autism differ in their OESA participation and experience compared to neurotypical peers. Parents of autistic children (n = 35) and those of neurotypical peers (n = 171) responded to questions that asked them to reflect on their child's participation and experiences in OESAs. Parents of autistic children reported significantly less OESA participation compared to parents of neurotypical children. Additionally, when evaluating factors that facilitated OESA participation, parents of autistic children rated their child's individual abilities and behaviour, the OESA's features, and the social environment less positively, compared to parents of neurotypical children. OESA participation and experiences differ for autistic and neurotypical children. This study identifies factors that can be adjusted to mitigate this difference.

自闭症和神经症儿童课外活动的参与和体验。

参加有组织的课外社会活动（OESA）可以为儿童带来积极的结果。这项研究调查了4至12岁被诊断为自闭症的儿童与神经正常的同龄人相比，在OESA参与和体验方面是否存在差异。自闭症儿童的父母（n = 35）和神经正常同龄人（n = 171）回答了要求他们反思孩子参与OESA的情况和经历的问题。与神经正常儿童的父母相比，自闭症儿童的父母报告的OESA参与率显著降低。此外，在评估促进OESA参与的因素时，与神经正常儿童的父母相比，自闭症儿童的父母对孩子的个人能力和行为、OESA的特征和社会环境的评价不那么积极。自闭症儿童和神经正常儿童的OESA参与程度和经历不同。这项研究确定了可以调整以减轻这种差异的因素。
