We also compared these measures between the mothers and the fathers. We assessed 151 families with at least one child with autistic disorder and 113 families of typically developing children in Taiwan. Both parents completed the self-administered questionnaires measuring psychopathology, marital dyadic adjustment, and family function. Both parents of children with autism suffered from more psychopathology and less dyadic consensus than parents of typically developing children; mothers of children with autism, perceived less marital satisfaction, affection expression, family adaptability and cohesion than mothers of typically developing children. We also found that mothers of children with autism displayed more psychopathology and marital maladjustment than did the fathers. These findings highlight that parents of children with autism encounter more psychological problems, marital difficulties and family dysfunction, particularly their mothers.

Sleep problems among Taiwanese children with autism, their siblings and typically developing children / Miao-Churn CHOU in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-2 (April-June 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 6-2 (April-June 2012) . - p.665-672 Titre : Sleep problems among Taiwanese children with autism, their siblings and typically developing children Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Miao-Churn CHOU, Auteur ; Wen-Jiun CHOU, Auteur ; Huey-Ling CHIANG, Auteur ; Yu-Yu WU, Auteur ; Ju-Chin LEE, Auteur ; Ching-Ching WONG, Auteur ; Susan Shur-Fen GAU, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.665-672 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autistic disorder  Children  Unaffected sibling  Parenting style  Sleep schedules  Sleep problems Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The current study compared the sleep schedules, sleep problems among children with autism, their siblings and typically developing children, and to explore other associated factors with sleep problems. We conducted a case-control study consisting 110 children with autistic disorder, 125 unaffected siblings, and 110 age-, sex-, and parental education-matched typically developing children, aged 4–13 years old. We conducted psychiatric interviews to obtain DSM-IV diagnosis of autistic disorder and confirmed by the Chinese Version of the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised. The mothers were asked to report on the self-administered questionnaires regarding sleep schedules and problems of their children and parenting styles. Our results showed that children with autism had more sleep problems, including early insomnia, middle insomnia, sleep–wake schedule disorders and daytime napping. Their unaffected siblings also had more risk of early insomnia, sleep-talking and nightmares, compared to the typically developing children in non-autistic family. We also found an association between bring-up experience and nightmare, and between maternal overprotection and middle insomnia and sleep–wake schedule disorder. The findings of increased risks for sleep problems in both children with autism and their unaffected sibling suggest that parenting counseling should be included in intervention of sleep problems in children with autism and their siblings.
