This study used structural equation modeling to examine the relationship between multiple sources of social support (e.g.,
partner, family, and friends), optimism, and well-being among mothers of children with ASD. Social support was examined as
a mediator and moderator of the optimism-maternal well-being relationship. Moreover, the role of optimism as a mediator of
the social support-maternal well-being relationship was also evaluated. Results revealed that family support was associated
with increased optimism that, in turn, predicted higher levels of positive maternal outcomes and lower levels of negative
maternal outcomes. In addition, partner and friend support were directly associated with maternal outcomes. Implications for
the development of interventions directed at increasing the quality of social support networks are discussed. 相似文献

Raising a child with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can be exhausting, which has the potential to impact on parental health and wellbeing. The current study investigated the influence of maternal fatigue and coping on the relationship between children’s problematic behaviours and maternal stress for 65 mothers of young children (aged 2–5 years) with ASDs. Results showed that maternal fatigue but not maladaptive coping mediated the relationship between problematic child behaviours and maternal stress. These findings suggest child behaviour difficulties may contribute to parental fatigue, which in turn may influence use of ineffective coping strategies and increased stress. The significance of fatigue on maternal wellbeing was highlighted as an important area for consideration in families of children with an ASD. 相似文献

Religious beliefs, religious activities, and spirituality are coping resources used by many mothers of children with autism
spectrum disorder (ASD). This study examined whether and how these resources were related to maternal socioemotional functioning.
Mothers of children with ASD completed questionnaires assessing religiosity, spirituality, and a wide range of outcome variables,
including stress, depression, self-esteem, life satisfaction, positive affect, and sense of control. Analyses revealed that
religious beliefs and spirituality were associated with better positive outcomes and, to a lesser extent, lower levels of
negative outcomes. Of the two predictors, spirituality accounted for more unique variance in positive outcomes. In contrast,
religious activities were related to more negative outcomes and lower levels of positive outcomes. 相似文献

Objective
Environmental pollutants, especially environmental toxins (ET), may have the potential to disrupt neurodevelopmental pathways during early brain development. This study was designed to test our hypothesis that mothers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) children would have less knowledge about ET and more chance to be exposed to ET than mothers with healthy children (MHC).Methods
One hundred and six biologic mothers with ASD children (MASD) and three hundred twenty four biologic mothers with healthy children MHC were assessed using two questionnaires asking about ET.Results
The total score in response to questions related to knowledge about ET in MHC was higher than that in MASD. The possibility of exposure to ET was higher in MASD than MHC. MASD showed higher sub-scale scores in terms of exposures to canned food, plastics, waste incinerators, old electronics, microwavable food, and textiles.Conclusion
The current results show that reduced knowledge about ET and greater exposure to ET may be associated with autism spectrum disorder. 相似文献9.

Few studies have examined interventions or therapeutic processes that may help parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) manage their stress. This study examines the impact of a brief Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) group intervention, led by parents, among a cohort of 33 mothers of children with ASD. Changes in ACT process measures (psychological flexibility, cognitive fusion, values) were evaluated at pre, post, and 3 months following the intervention. Mothers reported significant improvement post-intervention in psychological flexibility, cognitive fusion, and value-consistent activities in multiple life domains, including parenting, relationships, and self-care. These improvements were maintained at follow-up. The results provide preliminary evidence that improvements observed in depression and stress may be mediated by cognitive fusion and action-values consistency. 相似文献

The purposes of this paper are to provide an overview of the state of the science of sleep in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), present hypotheses for the high prevalence of insomnia in children with ASD, and present a practice pathway for promoting optimal sleep. Approximately two thirds of children with ASD have chronic insomnia, and to date, the strongest evidence on promoting sleep is for sleep education, environmental changes, behavioral interventions, and exogenous melatonin. The Sleep Committee of the Autism Treatment Network (ATN) developed a practice pathway, based on expert consensus, to capture best practices for screening, identification, and treatment for sleep problems in ASD in 2012. An exemplar case is presented to integrate key constructs of the practice pathway and address arousal and sensory dysregulation in a child with ASD and anxiety disorder. This paper concludes with next steps for dissemination of the practice pathway and future directions for research of sleep problems in ASD. 相似文献

Qualitative differences in social interaction style exist within the autism spectrum. In this study we examined whether these differences are associated with (1) the severity of autistic symptoms and comorbid disruptive behavior problems, (2) the child’s psycho-social health, and (3) executive functioning and perspective taking skills. The social interaction style of 156 children and adolescents (6–19?years) with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder (HFASD) was determined with the Wing Subgroups Questionnaire. An active-but-odd social interaction style was positively associated with symptoms of autism, attention deficit and hyperactivity. Furthermore, an active-but-odd social interaction style was negatively associated with children’s psycho-social health and positively with executive functioning problems. Social interaction style explains part of the heterogeneity among children with HFASD. 相似文献

This study aimed to investigate temporally extended self-awareness (awareness of one’s place in and continued existence through
time) in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), using the delayed self-recognition (DSR) paradigm (Povinelli et al., Child Development
67:1540–1554, 1996). Relative to age and verbal ability matched comparison children, children with ASD showed unattenuated performance on the
DSR task, despite showing significant impairments in theory-of-mind task performance, and a reduced propensity to use personal
pronouns to refer to themselves. The results may indicate intact temporally extended self-awareness in ASD. However, it may
be that the DSR task is not an unambiguous measure of temporally extended self-awareness and it can be passed through strategies
which do not require the possession of a temporally extended self-concept.

The relationship between symbolic play and other domains, such as degree of autistic symptomatology, nonverbal cognitive ability,
receptive language, expressive language, and social development, was investigated. The assessment files of 101 children with
Autism Spectrum Disorder were studied. Nonverbal cognitive ability and expressive language were both significantly and uniquely
related to symbolic play, although receptive language was not. Autistic symptomatology ceased to be significantly related
to symbolic play when controlling for two or more other variables. Social development was related to symbolic play in those
children with high nonverbal cognitive ability but not those with low nonverbal cognitive ability. The diagnostic and treatment
implications of these results are discussed. 相似文献

Impairments in executive abilities such as cognitive flexibility have been identified in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It remains unclear, however, whether such individuals also experience impairments in another executive ability: inhibitory control. In the present study, we administered three inhibitory tasks to 18 children with ASD, 23 siblings of children with ASD, and 25 typically developing children. After controlling for individual differences in age, overall IQ, and processing speed, children with ASD demonstrated impaired performance on two of the three inhibitory tasks. Results suggest that children with ASD experience circumscribed deficits in some but not all aspects of inhibitory control. More generally, the findings underscore the importance of using multiple measures to assess a putative single cognitive ability. 相似文献

One of the deficits observed in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is impaired imaginative play. One form of imaginative play common in many typically developing (TD) children is having an imaginary companion (IC). The occurrence of ICs has not been investigated extensively in children with ASD. We examined differences in parent report of IC between TD and ASD populations in 215 (111 with ASD) gender-matched children aged between 2 and 8 years. Findings indicate that significantly fewer children with ASD created ICs, although there were many between-group similarities in IC forms and functions. Results are discussed in terms of qualitative differences in play, social attributions, and how children with ASD conceptualize their ICs’ minds. 相似文献

Maintaining upright posture is a complex process involving multiple afferent systems. The aim of this study was to measure the postural stability of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) compared with children with typical neurodevelopment and to measure the relative contributions of the visual, somatosensory, and vestibular afferent systems in each group. Eight boys with ASD and eight age-, race-, and gender-matched controls participated in this study using force platform technology with customized software to measure postural sway under conditions designed to eliminate or modify visual and somatosensory input. Children with ASD had significantly larger sway areas under all test conditions in which afferent input was modified. These results are consistent with a deficit in the integration of visual, vestibular, and somatosensory input to maintain postural orientation. 相似文献
