Adults and children with Asperger syndrome: Exploring adult attachment style, marital satisfaction and satisfaction with parenthood / Winnie Yu-Pow LAU in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 5-1 (January-March 2011)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 5-1 (January-March 2011) . - p.392-399 Titre : Adults and children with Asperger syndrome: Exploring adult attachment style, marital satisfaction and satisfaction with parenthood Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Winnie Yu-Pow LAU, Auteur ; Candida C. PETERSON, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.392-399 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Asperger-syndrome Marriage Adult-attachment-style Parenthood-satisfaction Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Asperger syndrome (AS) is a disorder resembling autism in its problems with social interaction and cognitive flexibility. Today, a number of adults with AS marry and rear children. Yet there has been little research into the quality of their marital and parental relationships. This study explored romantic attachment style, marital satisfaction and parenthood satisfaction in 157 Australian men and women. There was a focal group 22 married adults with a clinically-confirmed AS diagnosis whose child also had AS and three neuro-typical adult control groups: (a) those whose spouse and child had AS, (b) those whose child had AS but spouse did not, and (c) those with no AS family members. Marital satisfaction was high in all four groups. Respondents who had AS themselves were predominantly insecurely avoidant in romantic attachment, in contrast to predominantly securely attachment in all other groups. Having a child with AS reduced parental (though not marital) satisfaction but there was no additional independent contribution of own or spouse's AS. Methodological and practical implications of the findings were considered.

Autistic Traits in Couple Dyads as a Predictor of Anxiety Spectrum Symptoms / Winnie Yu-Pow LAU in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 44-11 (November 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 44-11 (November 2014) . - p.2949-2963 Titre : Autistic Traits in Couple Dyads as a Predictor of Anxiety Spectrum Symptoms Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Winnie Yu-Pow LAU, Auteur ; Susan Shur-Fen GAU, Auteur ; Yen-Nan CHIU, Auteur ; Yu-Yu WU, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2949-2963 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorders  Couple dyads  Parents  Anxiety symptoms  Taiwanese Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The link between parental autistic tendency and anxiety symptoms was studied in 491 Taiwanese couples raising biological children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). Parental autistic tendency as measured by Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) was associated with anxiety symptoms across all domains. Large effect sizes were found in social phobia and post traumatic stress disorders for both parents, and in general anxiety disorder and agoraphobia for mothers. These associations were irrespective of child’s autistic tendency, spouse’s AQ scores and the couples’ compatibility in their autistic tendency. Perceived family support and parental education moderated the link but not child’s autistic severity. Research and clinical implications regarding psychiatric vulnerability of parents of children with ASD were drawn and discussed.

Further Evidence on the Factorial Structure of the Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) for Adults With and Without a Clinical Diagnosis of Autism / Winnie Yu-Pow LAU in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 43-12 (December 2013)

This study aimed to establish an internally coherent and reliable factor structure for the AQ using a sample of 455 Australian adults of whom 141 had autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnoses. Principal component analysis revealed a 39-item questionnaire with five-factors: Sociability, Social Cognition, Interest in Patterns, Narrow Focus and Resistance to Change. The revised AQ-39 had sound goodness-of-fit indices, good-to-excellent internal consistency and test–retest reliability, and scores for ASD and non-ASD participants were significantly different. The AQ-39 may be useful in screening and for guiding the focus of therapy.

Parents on the autism continuum: Links with parenting efficacy / Winnie Yu-Pow LAU in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 26 (June 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 26 (June 2016) . - p.57-64 Titre : Parents on the autism continuum: Links with parenting efficacy Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Winnie Yu-Pow LAU, Auteur ; Candida C.

Parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) were studied in three groups: (a) families in which both the parent and the child had a DSM-IV-TR ASD diagnosis (n = 109); (b) families in which only the child had a DSM-IV-TR ASD diagnosis (n = 128); and (c) families in which no member had ASD (n = 109). Each subject completed the Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) and a measure of parenting efficacy. Fathers with ASD had the lowest parental efficacy, but mothers with ASD had comparable levels of parental efficacy to parents without ASD in the family. Results suggest that screening and intervention to build fathers parental efficacy may be a useful adjunct to therapy.
