Responding to children's expressed needs and preferences can improve their self‐esteem and motivation for learning. However, some groups of children and young people may find it more difficult to express their needs and preferences. This article reviews the research evidence on methods used to gather the views of children with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), who may have particular difficulties with social communication. From research databases, 20 relevant studies were identified. Semi‐structured interview was a frequently used method, but may be better suited to older, or more academically able, students. The effectiveness of interview methods can be improved by offering the student choice of interview location, by reducing distractions, and by the use of visual aids. Other potentially suitable methods included: oral, written or electronic diaries; use of drawings; use of photographs taken by the student; use of focus groups; and use of individually administered survey questionnaires. More focused evaluation by future researchers of the suitability of data‐gathering methods for participants with ASD would allow broader conclusions to be drawn about which methods work best and for whom.

收集患有ASD的儿童和年轻人的观点：系统的文献综述

回应孩子表达的需求和喜好可以提高他们的自尊心和学习动机。但是，某些儿童和年轻人群体可能会发现表达他们的需求和偏好更加困难。本文回顾了用于收集自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）儿童意见的方法的研究证据，这些儿童在社交方面可能存在特殊困难。从研究数据库中，鉴定出20项相关研究。半结构化面试是一种常用的方法，但可能更适合年龄较大或学术能力较强的学生。通过为学生提供面试地点的选择，减少干扰和使用视觉辅助手段，可以提高面试方法的有效性。其他可能合适的方法包括：口服，书面或电子日记；使用图纸；使用学生拍摄的照片；使用焦点小组；以及使用单独管理的调查问卷。未来的研究人员对数据收集方法对ASD参与者的适用性进行更集中的评估，将可以得出更广泛的结论，即哪种方法最适合谁使用。[作者的摘要]
