Abstract

ABSTRACT Multiple birth is one of several perinatal factors associated with increased risk for autism spectrum disorder (ASD); however, complexity in its relationship to ASD symptoms and developmental functioning remains. The present study investigated perinatal risk factors for ASD, primarily focusing on birth status, within a large early intervention sample. In particular, the relationship between ASD, perinatal factors, and the effect of birth status on developmental functioning and ASD symptom severity were examined in youth with and without ASD classification who were born singly or were the product of a multiple birth. Overall, the presence of other perinatal risk factors, including prematurity, low birth weight, and advanced parental age, was primarily related to birth status and not to ASD classification, while severity of ASD symptoms and developmental impairments were primarily related to ASD classification and not to birth status. Study findings and implications for early screening of children with developmental delays are discussed.

早期干预样本中多胞胎检查作为自闭症症状严重程度和发育功能的预测指标

多胞胎是与自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）风险增加相关的几个围产期因素之一；然而，它与ASD症状和发育功能之间的关系仍然很复杂。本研究在大量早期干预样本中调查了ASD的围产期危险因素，主要关注出生状况。特别是，研究了ASD、围产期因素以及出生状态对发育功能和ASD症状严重程度的影响之间的关系，研究对象是患有和不患有ASD分类的单独出生或多胞胎的青年。总的来说，其他围产期风险因素的存在，包括早产、低出生体重和父母高龄，主要与出生状态有关，而与ASD分类无关，而ASD症状和发育障碍的严重程度主要与ASD分级有关，而非出生状态。讨论了研究结果和对发育迟缓儿童早期筛查的意义。

期刊介绍： Developmental Neurorehabilitation aims to enhance recovery, rehabilitation and education of people with brain injury, neurological disorders, and other developmental, physical and intellectual disabilities. Although there is an emphasis on childhood, developmental disability can be considered from a lifespan perspective. This perspective acknowledges that development occurs throughout a person’s life and thus a range of impairments or diseases can cause a disability that can affect development at any stage of life.
