The Role of Family Accommodation of RRBs in Disruptive Behavior among Children with Autism
Koller, Judah; David, Tamar; Bar, Noa; Lebowitz, Eli R.
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v52 n6 p2505-2511 Jun 2022
Family accommodation refers to changes in families' behavior aimed at reducing children's psychopathology-related distress (Shimshoni et al. in Indian Journal of Psychiatry 61(Suppl 1):S93-S103, 2019). Family accommodation of RRBs occurs frequently in families of children with autism, is linked to greater symptom severity (Feldman et al. in J Autism Dev Disord 49(9):3602-3610, 2019), and is unexplored in the context of disruptive behaviors. This study examined child and parent factors associated with disruptive behavior in children with autism. Parents (N = 90; age 2-9 years) reported on children's autism symptomatology, adaptive functioning, and disruptive behavior, alongside parenting stress and family accommodation of RRBs. Such accommodation contributed significantly to predicting disruptive behavior. These findings indicate that parent behavior is associated with the expression of disruptive behavior in this sample, highlighting potential intervention targets for children with autism.
