Parenting behaviour among parents of children with autism spectrum disorder
Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 2011
Contrary to the extensive amount of empirical findings about parental perceptions, parenting cognitions, and coping in families with a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), research about parenting itself is very scarce. A first goal of this study was to examine the factor structure and internal consistency of two scales to measure parenting behaviour: the Parental Behaviour Scale-short version (PBS, Van Leeuwen, 2002;) and a new scale to measure parenting behaviours more specifically relevant to children with ASD. A second goal was to compare general and more specific parenting behaviour among parents of children with and without ASD. The participants were 305 parents of a child with ASD between 8 and 18 years old and 325 parents of a typically developing child between 8 and 18 years old. Parents completed both scales. Exploratory factor analysis of the new scale resulted in two factors: Stimulating the Development and Adapting the Environment. Multisample confirmatory factor analyses showed good fit indices for the noninvariant model of both the PBS and the new scale. Mean level analyses revealed significant main effects of group with higher mean scores for the control group in comparison with the experimental group for the subscale Harsh Punishment and the reversed effect for the subscale Stimulating the Development. We concluded that it is possible to use the parenting constructs of the PBS-short version to investigate parenting behaviour of parents with and without children with ASD. Furthermore, the new scale showed a relatively stable two factor structure for the control group as well as for the experimental group. The two factors 'Stimulating the child's Development' and 'Adapting the child's Environment' were also convincing as regards content. A first indication was found that parents of children with ASD indeed use more specifically relevant parenting behaviours. It is self-evident that more research is needed to gain further insight into the nature of these behaviours. ß

The family role to child development is very necessary. Parentshave an autistic child will experience more complex problemsforming personality, behavior and their fulfillmentis needing. The approach was cross sectional. The samples were 30 parents and 30 autistic. The instrument wasused a parenting questionnaire and observation for development. The analysis used contingency coefficient correlation, p-value was 0.017, smaller than α = 0.05 (p <0.05). There was a relationship the association parenting family with development autistic. Parents provide parenting appropriatetheir children without curbing and still paying attention to the child's freedom will be good for the child. Parenting provided to children must be in accordance with the development to needtheir children. The right parenting can provide opportunities for children that they are part of the people in their environment so that children can develop optimally.

Research has clearly demonstrated that behavior problems are common among children with ASD. These co-occurring behavior problems place children with ASD and their families at risk for a range of negative outcomes. This questionnaire study aimed to investigate whether and how age, gender, and communication difficulties at the child level and parenting behaviors at the family level are associated with externalizing and internalizing problems among children with ASD (nn = 206) and without ASD (n = 187) aged 6-n = 187) aged 6-12 years. Results indicated that pragmatic language difficulties of the child and negative controlling parenting behaviors both made a significant and unique contribution to externalizing behavior problems for the ASD group. In the control group, chronological age and pragmatic language difficulties were the most robust concurrent predictors of externalizing problems. With regard to internalizing problems, pragmatic language difficulties and ASD adapted parenting behaviors were significant predictors for both the ASD and control group.
The experience of parents with an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) can be devastating. Parents and families have to cope with the compound, demanding situation in their life. The presence of pervasive and severe deficits in children with ASD increases the adjusting demands of parent’s in their life situations. Those coping with life complexity with the parents of ASD nudge them into stress later into distress slowly incapacitates them that of their efficiency to deal with this situation. These parents are found with disturbances in their psychological parameters such as social, sexual, economic, and emotional. Perhaps this shatters them from their interpersonal relationship and family life. Indeed, these aspects of parental distress stand lower in position, and the focus goes with the treatment of ASD. Thus, the management of ASD by these parents to their deficit child capacitating to reach their fullest abilities remains questionable. Thus, there is a need for intervention of autistic children with a peripheral focus on psychological parameters of parents of ASD. This review study focuses on division of attention required for the treatment of ASD towards the child with autism and the parents who manage them

This study aimed to develop a modulated program of parenting skills and to evaluate its effectiveness in reducing autistic symptoms and increasing parental adjustment. Methods: This quasi-experimental study utilized in two phases, a pretest-posttest design and a control group. First, a treatment program with both individual and group structure was constructed considering available treatments such as cognitive-behavior therapy, social stories, and play therapy catered to autistic children and the needs of their families. The program consisted of techniques such as acceptance, common cognitive errors challenge, control of thoughts, emotions and behavior, the principles of reward and punishment, and crisis management etc. The validity of the program was confirmed by four experts. Secondly, 26 volunteer qualified couples selected from the parents were referred to a rehabilitation center in Tehran, and were randomly assigned into experimental and control groups. The pretest was performed for all participants. Then, the control group was kept away from the program during the 10 sessions of group, four sessions of individual, and two sessions of family therapy for each couple in the experiment group. Results: Univariate analysis of Covariance showed that the program significantly improved marital adjustment in parents (F=22.018, P=0.001), and successfully reduced the symptoms of autistic disorder in social interaction (F=5.733, P=0.027) and relations (F=10.07, P=0.005). However, it did not significantly affect stereotyped behaviors (F=4.304, P=0.053) and development (F=0.448, P=0.511) of autistic children in the experimental group. Discussion: The compiled parenting program is recommended to improve parental empowerment for the families of autistic children, because it is capable of reducing autistic symptoms in social interaction and relationships as well as improving marital adjustment in such families.

The current study sought to understand the effect of parent-led applied behavior analyses (ABA), in comparison to practitioner-led applied behavior analysis, on parental stress and parental self-efficacy. To do this, we analyzed secondary data from a large behavioral health provider for individuals with autism spectrum disorder. We conducted a regression analysis to understand the relationship between parental stress and parental self-efficacy and a two-way mixed ANOVA to evaluate if differences existed between parent-led and practitioner-led ABA on parental stress and parental self-efficacy. The regression analysis included parents of 2,276 children with autism spectrum disorder and the comparison analysis of parent-led and practitioner-led applied behavior analysis included 152 children with autism spectrum disorder, with 76 participants in each group. The analysis found parental self-efficacy predicts 21% of parenting stress with a significant negative relationship. The results of the comparison between parent-led and practitioner-led ABA resulted in a significant difference in parental self-efficacy, whereby the parent-led group exhibited a significant increase in parental self-efficacy while the practitioner-led group did not. These results further support the efficacy of parent-mediated treatment for children with autism spectrum disorder and underscore the importance of significant inclusion of parents into ABA treatment.
MOTHERS PERSPECTIVE ABOUT THE BEHAVIOUR OF CHILDREN WITH AUTISTIC SPECTRUM DISORDER
Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is the name for a group of development disorders. ASD includes a wide range, a spectrum of symptoms, skills and levels of disability. The aim of this study is to show the behaviour of the children with autistic spectrum disorder according to their mothers point of view. It is almost impossible to make an accurate prognosis for children with ASD, because their diagnosis varies over years on the basis of their treatment. We have noticed that the services for ASD children are limited. After analysing the questionnaire, we have noticed that the majority of the children with ASD are in a medium or high risk level. This is a cross-sectional, transversal, punctual study. The study was conducted in Shkodra Region during February 2018. There have been completed 12 questionnaires during this research. The collected information comes from the mothers of affected children, by a self-report. All the collected data were calculated with Microsoft Office 2010 program. The questionnaire is a standard M-CHAT questionnaire where the participants privacy was protected as well.

Co-occurring emotional and behavioral problems (EBPs) frequently exist in young autistic children. There is evidence based on parental report that parenting interventions reduce child EBPs. More objective measures of child EBPs should supplement parent reported outcomes in trials. We describe the development of a new measure of child and parenting behavior, the Observation Schedule for Children with Autism-Anxiety, Behaviour and Parenting (OSCA-ABP). Participants were 83 parents/carers and their 4-8-year-old autistic children. The measure demonstrated good variance and potential sensitivity to change. Child and parenting behavior were reliably coded among verbal and minimally verbal children. Associations between reports from other informants and observed behavior showed the measure had sufficient convergent validity. The measure has promise to contribute to research and clinical practice in autism mental health beyond objective measurement in trials.

The importance of supporting parent-child interactions has been noted in the context of prodromal autism, but little consideration has been given to the possible contributing role of parental characteristics, such as psychological distress. This cross-sectional study tested models in which parent-child interaction variables mediated relations between parent characteristics and child autistic behaviour in a sample of families whose infant demonstrated early signs of autism (N = 103). The findings suggest that associations between parent characteristics (psychological distress; aloofness) and child autistic behaviours may be mediated by the child’s inattentiveness or negative affect during interactions. These findings have important implications in developing and implementing interventions in infancy which target the synchrony of parent-child interaction with the goal to support children’s social communication development.
