Moreover, findings from this study further suggest that boys may deserve more attention when one concerns how autistic traits may influence their functioning in domains such as behavioral problems at school, friendships, and attitudes toward schoolwork and teachers/classmates. In contrast, more attention should be paid to girls (particularly preadolescent and adolescent girls) when the concern is about the impact of autistic traits on problematic peer interactions such as bullying and peer rejection. Additionally, children and adolescents who are identified by the SRS as being affected with subthreshold autistic traits may likewise benefit from interventions that have been traditionally designed for children who meet full diagnostic criteria for ASDs. For example, prevention or intervention programs that incorporate social skill training for youth with ASDs, as well as elements aimed at improving parents’ and school teachers’ knowledge on ASDs and the associated adjustment outcomes, may also be effective for youth with subthreshold ASDs.
