This phenomenon was later named the broader autism phenotypeBroader autism phenotype (BAP). ParentsParents who recognize autistic behaviors in themselves might perceive their child’s disability in a different way from parentsParents who became aware of ASD only through their offspring. The present pilot study examines the correlation between presence of the broader autism phenotypeBroader autism phenotype (BAP) in parentsParents of children who have been diagnosed with ASD and their feelingsFeelings towards their children. It explores the impact of this trait on the dyadic copingDyadic-coping strategies these parentsParents adopt, indicating how partners in a relationship work together to address a stressful situation, which is perceived as a dyadic rather than individual challengeChallenges. The Friburg Dyadic Coping Test, developed by Bodenmann (1995, 2005), was used to examine dyadic copingDyadic-coping strategies. This researchResearch tool relates to how the individual communicates stress to his/her partner; the individual’s assessment of how the partner responds to his/her stress; actions that an individual does when his/her partner experiences stress; how both partners deal with stress.
