Parenting Stress as a Correlate of Cognitive Behavior Therapy Responsiveness in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders and Anxiety / Jonathan A. WEISS in Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 30-3 (September 2015)

Eighteen children (8–12 years of age, M = 9.5, SD = 1.34; male: n = 15) with ASD and significant anxiety problems participated in a 12-session group “Coping Cat” intervention together with their parents. Statistically significant reductions were noted across measures of parent-reported child anxiety, with 50% of children demonstrating clinically meaningful improvements using the conservative Reliable Change Index. Significant correlations were found between change in parenting stress and change in child anxiety from pre- to post-treatment. These results are applicable to the community service sector, where the Coping Cat program is commonly utilized. Due to the high prevalence of anxiety disorders in children with ASD, further research is needed to advance capacity building to help meet the significant needs of youth with ASD and anxiety.

Sexual Knowledge and Victimization in Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders / S.M. BROWN-LAVOIE in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 44-9 (September 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 44-9 (September 2014) . - p.2185-2196 Titre : Sexual Knowledge and Victimization in Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : S.M. BROWN-LAVOIE, Auteur ; Michelle A. VIECILI, Auteur ; Jonathan A. WEISS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2185-2196 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorders  Sexual knowledge  Sexual victimization  Asperger syndrome  Education Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : There is a significant gap in understanding the risk of sexual victimization in individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and the variables that contribute to risk. Age appropriate sexual interest, limited sexual knowledge and experiences, and social deficits, may place adults with ASD at increased risk. Ninety-five adults with ASD and 117 adults without ASD completed questionnaires regarding sexual knowledge sources, actual knowledge, perceived knowledge, and sexual victimization. Individuals with ASD obtained less of their sexual knowledge from social sources, more sexual knowledge from non-social sources, had less perceived and actual knowledge, and experienced more sexual victimization than controls. The increased risk of victimization by individuals with ASD was partially mediated by their actual knowledge. The link between knowledge and victimization has important clinical implications for interventions.

The impact of child problem behaviors of children with ASD on parent mental health: The mediating role of acceptance and empowerment / Jonathan A. WEISS in Autism, 16-3 (May 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 16-3 (May 2012) . - p.261-274 Titre : The impact of child problem behaviors of children with ASD on parent mental health: The mediating role of acceptance and empowerment Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jonathan A. WEISS, Auteur ; M. Catherine CAPPADOCIA, Auteur ; Jennifer Anne MACMULLIN, Auteur ; Michelle VIECILI, Auteur ; Yona LUNSKY, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.261-274 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorder  challenging behavior  mental health  parenting  childhood  coping  acceptance  empowerment  Faire face Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Raising a child with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has often been associated with higher levels of parenting stress and psychological distress, and a number of studies have examined the role of psychological processes as mediators of the impact of child problem behavior on parent mental health. The current study examined the relations among child problem behavior, parent mental health, psychological acceptance, and parent empowerment. Participants included 228 parents of children diagnosed with ASD, 6–21 years of age. As expected, psychological acceptance and empowerment were negatively related to the severity of parent mental health problems. When acceptance and empowerment were compared with each other through a test of multiple mediation, only psychological acceptance emerged as a significant partial mediator of the path between child problem behavior and parent mental health problems. As child problem behavior increased, parent psychological acceptance decreased, resulting in an increase in parent mental health problems. These findings suggest that for problems that are chronic and difficult to address, psychological acceptance may be an important factor in coping for parents of young people with ASD, in line with the growing literature on positive coping as compared with problem-focused coping.
