Children’s autistic traits and peer relationships: do non-verbal IQ and externalizing problems play a role?

Abstract: Background Children with autism have difficulties in understanding relationships, yet little is known about the levels of autistic traits with regard to peer relationships. This study examined the association between autistic traits and peer relationships. Additionally, we examined whether the expected negative association is more pronounced in children with a lower non-verbal IQ and in those who exhibit more externalizing problems.

“…When children were between 5-to-6 and 13-to-15 years-of-age, an 18-item abbreviated form of the Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS) was administered to the parents of all participating children to obtain a quantitative measure of autistic-like traits [ 42 , 43 ]. The validity of the abbreviated SRS has been described in previous studies [ 43 , 44 ]. This short form consists items of social communication, social cognition, and social mannerism.…”

“…In the limited studies to date examining the relation between externalizing behaviors and the quality of peer relationships specifically among autistic students, the quality of autistic's students peer relationships was associated with externalizing problems. Specifically, among autistic 6-7 years olds, externalizing problems on the Teacher Report Form (Achenbach & Rescorla, 2001)-which includes aggression, noncompliance, tantrums, destruction of property, and rule-breaking-are associated with greater rejection based on peer nominations (Sari et al, 2021). In one study of school-age autistic children, hyperactivity was linked to higher peer sociometric rejection (Jones & Frederickson, 2010), while another study of autistic children in general education settings had more mixed findings: inattention, but not hyperactivity/impulsivity and oppositional/defiant behavior, was negatively associated with rejection (Robertson et al, 2003).…”

“…Future research in TBSSIs should seek to adapt to these interventions for children with more limited language abilities. 65 Furthermore, these interventions tended to employ small sample sizes and included mostly adolescent males, who are predominantly white, limiting generalizability of these findings. Consequently, it will be important to expand research on these interventions to include larger, more diverse samples of individuals with a wider range of cognitive abilities, to examine the generalizability of the treatment effectiveness/efficacy.…”
