Abstract

Lay abstract: There is little research exploring the menstrual product preferences of autistic youth, especially those who recently started their period. Study authors surveyed caregivers' choice of menstrual products for their autistic children. They provided popular menstrual materials to autistic youth to try, then asked them which product(s) they preferred, did not try, and why they did not try it. Caregivers selected sensory impact as the most important feature they consider when choosing a menstrual product for their child, and youth participants preferred to use period underwear. Therefore, autistic youth may benefit from purchasing and using period underwear, and caregivers, clinicians, and companies should consider the impact of menstrual product features, like sensory sensitivities, on young autistic menstruators and how best to support them.

了解自闭症青少年对经期产品的偏好以及照顾者对产品的选择。
Lay 摘要:很少有研究探讨自闭症青少年对月经用品的偏好,尤其是那些最近才来月经的自闭症青少年。研究作者调查了照顾者为自闭症儿童选择月经用品的情况。他们向自闭症青少年提供了流行的经期用品供其试用,然后询问他们喜欢哪种产品、没有试用哪种产品以及为什么没有试用。照顾者认为感官影响是他们为孩子选择经期用品时考虑的最重要因素,而青少年参与者则更喜欢使用经期内衣。因此,自闭症青少年可能会从购买和使用经期内衣中受益,护理人员、临床医生和公司应考虑经期产品功能(如感官敏感性)对自闭症青少年经期使用者的影响,以及如何为他们提供最好的支持。
