Abstract：
Children with autism engage in active play in different ways than children who are neurotypical, but their active play behaviors are not well understood. Research with twins and triplets with autism offers a unique opportunity to gain a clear picture of the play behaviors of children with autism because twins and triplets share many similarities (age, access to toys, etc.). Through semistructured interviews, this descriptive phenomenological study aimed to describe the active play behaviors of 19 twins and triplets with autism from the perspective of their parents (N = 9). The interviews revealed two main themes: (a) parents\' descriptions of active play and (b) parents\' descriptions of social play. The results reveal the diverse active and social play behaviors of twins and triplets with autism; parents described their children\'s play behavior when engaging in sensory, indoor, outdoor, and organized play. These results suggest that children with autism may be meeting the definition of active play in nontraditional ways.
摘要：
自闭症儿童以与神经典型儿童不同的方式参与积极的游戏，但是他们的积极游戏行为并没有得到很好的理解。对自闭症双胞胎和三胞胎的研究提供了一个独特的机会，可以清楚地了解自闭症儿童的玩耍行为，因为双胞胎和三胞胎有许多相似之处（年龄，获得玩具，等。).通过半结构化面试，这项描述性现象学研究旨在从父母的角度描述19对自闭症双胞胎和三胞胎的积极游戏行为（N=9）。采访揭示了两个主要主题：（a）父母对活跃游戏的描述和（b）父母对社交游戏的描述。结果揭示了自闭症双胞胎和三胞胎的不同的积极和社交游戏行为；父母描述了他们的孩子在从事感官时的游戏行为，室内,户外,有组织的游戏。这些结果表明，自闭症儿童可能会以非传统方式满足积极游戏的定义。
