We also know that poorer mental health among parents of autistic children has been observed across different cultures. Most research focuses on Western cultures, so we know little about parental mental health and well-being of parents from different cultural backgrounds; yet, it is likely that cultural background contributes to how parents view their child's condition and respond to the diagnosis. Here, we compared mental health, quality of life and well-being between families raising an autistic child from Australian backgrounds to families from South-East Asian backgrounds. All children in the current study were receiving the same community-based early intervention. When compared to the general population, parents had poorer mental health overall, but there were no differences between the two groups of parents. However, parents from South-East Asian backgrounds reported higher well-being and fewer difficulties associated with their child's autism. These findings suggest that cultural background likely influences not only parent's view of, and response to, their child's autism, but also their own sense of well-being. As researchers and clinicians working with families of autistic children, we should more explicitly consider family's cultural background within our work.

Skeletal Growth Dysregulation in Australian Male Infants and Toddlers With Autism Spectrum Disorder / C. C. GREEN in Autism Research, 11-6 (June 2018)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 11-6 (June 2018) . - p.846-856 Titre : Skeletal Growth Dysregulation in Australian Male Infants and Toddlers With Autism Spectrum Disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : C. C. GREEN, Auteur ; Cheryl DISSANAYAKE, Auteur ; D. Z. LOESCH, Auteur ; M. BUI, Auteur ; Josephine BARBARO, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.846-856 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorder  body height  body size  child  growth  head circumference  infant Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Recent findings suggest that children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are larger in size for head circumference (HC), height, and weight compared to typically developing (TD) children; however, little is known about their rate of growth, especially in height and weight. The current study aimed to: (a) confirm and extend upon previous findings of early generalized overgrowth in ASD; and (b) determine if there were any differences in the rate of growth between infants and toddlers with ASD compared to their TD peers. Measurements of HC, height, and weight were available for 135 boys with ASD and 74 TD boys, from birth through 3 years of age. Size and growth rate in HC, height, and weight were analyzed using a linear mixed-effects model. Infants with ASD were significantly smaller in size at birth for HC, body length, and weight compared to TD infants (all P < 0.05); however, they grew at a significantly faster rate in HC and height in comparison to the TD children (P < 0.001); there was no significant difference between the groups in growth rate for weight (P > 0.05). The results confirmed that male infants and toddlers with ASD exhibit skeletal growth dysregulation early in life. Autism Res 2018, 11: 846-856. (c) 2018 International Society for Autism Research, Wiley Periodicals, Inc. LAY SUMMARY: Recent findings suggest that infants with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are smaller in size at birth compared to typically developing infants but grow larger than their peers during the first year. Little is known about their rate of growth, especially for height and weight. Our findings confirmed that infants with ASD are smaller in size at birth for head circumference (HC), height, and weight, but grow at a faster rate in HC and height than their peers from birth to 3 years.
