ABSTRACT
This study is of the in-school social relationships with peers of mainstream secondary school pupils with Asperger syndrome/high-functioning autism (AS/HFA) and of matched controls. Fifty-seven pupils participated in the study (30 with AS/HFA and 27 controls), ranging from school years 7-13 (age 11-18 years). By comparison with controls, pupils with AS/HFA engaged in fewer social interactions during the school day, both in and out of lessons, spent break and lunch times inside in quieter more closely adult supervised areas of the school, reported having fewer friends, were less physically active, were more likely to be the targets of bullying but had equally good school attendance records. Implications for further research are discussed (AU)
RESUMEN
Este estudio trata de las relaciones sociales con los iguales dentro de las escuelas integradas de secundaria por parte, por un lado, de alumnos con síndrome de Asperger/ autismo de alto funcionamiento (SA/AAF) y por otro, de sus casos controles emparejados. Han participado 57 alumnos (30 con SA/AAF y 27 controles), entre los cursos 7 y 13 (11-18 años). Los resultados sugieren que en comparación con los casos control, los alumnos con SA/AAF participan en menos interacciones sociales durante la jornada escolar, tanto dentro como fuera de clase, pasan los recreos y las horas de comida dentro, en áreas más tranquilas y más supervisadas por adultos, reconocen tener menos amigos que los casos control, son significativamente menos activos físicamente y son blanco más probable de maltrato por los iguales, pero sus registros de asistencia son igual de buenos que los de sus compañeros. Se discuten las implicaciones para investigaciones futuras (AU)
