Abstract
The purpose of this study is to discuss the relationship between the family environment factors and the adaptive behaviors of autism. Questionnaire survey is used in this study and totally 57 samples are effective. All samples are selected from the children with autism studying in elementary schools in Wenshan District, Taipei County.
