Most studies of how parents of children with autism view the parent-child relationship used self-report questionnaires and focused on challenges. This study broadened the lens by interviewing parents using open-ended questions that provide an opportunity to raise challenging but also positive experiences. Seventy-five mother-father dyads were…

Jessie B. Northrup; Kaitlyn B. Cortez; Carla A. Mazefsky; Jana M. Iverson – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2024
Emotion dysregulation is a common challenge for autistic individuals, yet research examining early emotion regulation processes in autism is lacking. The present study examined negative emotion expression and parent-child co-regulatory processes in 18-month-old younger siblings of autistic children (children with an "elevated likelihood"…

There are inequities in engagement with established early childhood developmental surveillance programs, eclipsing disadvantaged families. The current study sought to address this by dovetailing developmental surveillance with immunization visits and other opportunistic contacts with children at general practices). While 53 General Practices were…

Using a cross-sectional design, this study explored attachment insecurity and disorganization (assessed using the Strange Situation Procedure) in 90 toddlers (aged 14-24 months) with and without autism traits and assessed the associations between autism traits (severity and profiles) and both developmental level and attachment classification. Our…

How parents support social learning at the preverbal level for toddlers with autism is rarely reported, limiting the field's understanding of factors that may influence early development of social competency. As a central challenge in autism that is resistant to intervention, preverbal social initiating is an important indicator of social…

Recent efforts have focused on developing and evaluating early intervention for toddlers with probable or emerging autism spectrum disorder. Parent-mediated approaches have gained traction, with mounting evidence of efficacy, but a research-to-practice gap exists, and community effectiveness remains to be firmly established. We report outcomes of…

Russell, Kaylin M.; Ingersoll, Brooke – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Parental self-efficacy, parents' beliefs in their ability to successfully parent their child, plays an important role in family outcomes when a child has autism spectrum disorder. It is important to consider therapeutic self-efficacy, one's feelings of self-efficacy regarding their implementation of an intervention, within parent-mediated…

Westerveld, Marleen F.; Wicks, Rachelle; Paynter, Jessica – Child Language Teaching and Therapy, 2021
Children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are at increased risk of persistent language and literacy difficulties. This study investigated the effectiveness of an 8-week parent-implemented shared book reading intervention designed to change parent and child book reading behaviours. Sixteen parents and their preschoolers on the autism…

Studies have shown that there are differences between the presentations of males and females diagnosed with autism. There remains a developing understanding about how the presentation of autism differs between boys (hereafter referred to as 'assigned males at birth') and girls (assigned females at birth). This study sought to investigate the…

Guthrie, Whitney; Wetherby, Amy M.; Woods, Juliann; Schatschneider, Christopher; Holland, Renee D.; Morgan, Lindee; Lord, Catherine E. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Robust evidence supports the efficacy of early autism intervention. Despite broad consensus that earlier intervention leads to better outcomes, evidence for this has been limited to correlational studies. This study examined timing effects of the Early Social Interaction (ESI) model, a parent-implemented intervention, using a complete crossover…

Bent, Catherine A.; Pellicano, Elizabeth; Iacono, Teresa; Hudry, Kristelle – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Early support should help autistic children lead flourishing lives. We sought to understand parents' experiences of their children's involvement in early intervention and associated research, through focus groups with 23 parents (of 22 children) enrolled in a university-affiliated service. Reflexive thematic analysis revealed four themes. Parents…

Parents from individualist cultures (those focused on autonomy of individuals; that is, Australian) may view their autistic children differently compared to parents from collectivist cultures (where community needs are valued over an individual's, that is, South-East Asian cultures). As most research on autism and parenting has been undertaken in…

This study examined connections between parental quality of life (QoL) and features of children (autism severity, cognitive ability, behavioral profile, and sociodemographic factors). Parents of 97 children attending an autism-specific preschool completed the Quality of Life in Autism, Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales and Child Behavior…

Dean, Bethan; O'Carroll, Sinéad; Ginnell, Lorna; Ledsham, Victoria; Telford, Emma; Sparrow, Sarah; Boardman, James P.; Fletcher-Watson, Sue – Infant and Child Development, 2021
Preterm birth is associated with reduced social attention in infancy. Are these early social attention differences linked to later interactive ability? This study draws on a well-characterized preterm cohort in whom we have previously demonstrated a reduced attentional preference for social information in infancy, using eye-tracking. States of…

Hampton, Lauren H.; Stern, Yael S.; Fipp-Rosenfield, Hannah; Bearss, Karen; Roberts, Megan Y. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: Parents of children on the autism spectrum enrolled in early intervention often receive coaching to address both social communication and disruptive behavior, which are the two most frequently reported concerns by parents. Intervention techniques for both are often recommended to be implemented across daily routines and require the…
