“…In the second step, depressive symptoms in parents of children with ASD were predicted by employment and household income. This relationship between low socio-economic status and depression has been supported by numerous studies [18,19,29]. The adverse effects of economic hardship on both mental and physical health and functioning are evident from a young age and persist across a person's lifespan.…”

“…Depressive symptoms in parents who do not have a job or have a lower household income were higher than for parents who have a job and higher income. Socio-economic support was indicated as being the primary predictor of mental health problems and mediated the relationship between child-related factors and parental psychological distress [18,22]. Taking care of children with ASD in daily life is a long journey; therefore, we should consider that the response of parents may vary in accordance with the process of children's growth.…”

The purpose of this study is to examine the association between each phase of the Life Transition Process (LTP) and depressive symptoms among parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Methods: Using a cross-sectional study design, data pertaining to LTP and depressive symptoms were collected from 285 parents of children with ASD (101 fathers and 184 mothers). Participants were recruited through the Autism Society of Korea and a counseling center for families of children with ASD. Results: Using a cutoff point of 5 or higher on the Beck Depression Inventory-Short Form, more than half of the parents (53.4%) were deemed depressed; these parents experienced moderate (27.4%) to severe (11.6%) levels of depressive symptoms. A hierarchical multiple regression using the socio-demographic characteristics of children and parents and each phase of the LTP as predictors, found that lower income (β=-.14, p=.007) and greater scores for the wandering phase (β=.59, p<.001) were significant predictors of greater levels of depressive symptoms. Conclusion: These findings confirm the association between LTP and depressive symptoms for parents of children with ASD, who were found to have a greater risk of depressive symptoms during wandering phase.

“…The American Psychiatric Association's (APA, 2000) Diagnostic and StatisticalManual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR), defines ASD as a group of disorders that include autistic disorder, pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS), and Asperger's Disorder. The core deficits associated with an ASD are impairment in social interaction and communication, as well as the presence of unusual behaviors and/or interests (Al-Oran & Al-Sagarat, 2016). The symptoms and characteristics can manifest themselves in a wide variety of combinations from mild to severe.…”

This study explores how the family of the child with ASD build resilience that was provided from the Muslim family point of view of a child with ASD in using Islamic values. Using the case study method, one family of a child with ASD discuss meaningful insights into how Islamic values support their way to be resilient.

“…Previous studies of children with ASD tend to involve a wide age range (e.g., 4–11 years) ( 12 ), which may mask the heterogeneity of the disorder. Furthermore, it has been reported that mothers of children under the age of 6 years experienced more challenges than those of school-aged children ( 26 ). To fill the abovementioned research gaps, this study investigated parenting stress in mothers of children with ASD between 2 and 6 years old.…”

ObjectivesChildren with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can exhibit persistent deficits in social communication, causing their mothers to experience elevated parenting stress during the childrearing process. Some internal and external psychosocial resources may mediate or moderate the mother-child relationship, though the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to explore the predictors of parenting stress in mothers of children with ASD and elucidate the mechanisms underlying the relationship between child social impairment and parenting stress.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted between October 2020 and March 2022 in Shanghai, China. Mothers of children with ASD completed a survey investigating child social impairment, parenting stress, parental self-efficacy, and social support.ResultsA total of 185 mothers of children with ASD were included in the final analysis. 70.27 percent of mothers experienced a clinically significant level of parenting stress. Child social impairment (r = 0.46, P < 0.001), parental self-efficacy (r = −0.58, P < 0.001), and social support (r = −0.35, P < 0.001) were significantly correlated with parenting stress. Parental self-efficacy completely mediated the relationship between child social impairment and parenting stress (B = 0.51, P < 0.001), after controlling for socioeconomic status (SES) correlated with parenting stress. There was no significant moderating effect of social support between child social impairment and parenting stress (B = 0.01, P = 0.09).ConclusionFuture early intervention programs that focused on child's social communication skills and empowered mothers with related strategies through group-based parent training programs may help reduce parenting stress.
