Parenting behaviours among mothers of pre-schoolers on the autism spectrum: Associations with parenting stress and children’s externalising behaviour problems / Melinda MADAREVIC in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 90 (February 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 90 (February 2022) . - 101901 Titre : Parenting behaviours among mothers of pre-schoolers on the autism spectrum: Associations with parenting stress and children’s externalising behaviour problems Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Melinda MADAREVIC, Auteur ; Lotte VAN ESCH, Auteur ; Greet LAMBRECHTS, Auteur ; Eva CEULEMANS, Auteur ; Karla VAN LEEUWEN, Auteur ; Ilse NOENS, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101901 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Parenting behaviours  Parenting stress  Externalising behaviour problems  Autism  Pre-schoolers Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Parents of pre-schoolers diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) report increased parenting stress (i.e., stress related to the parent role) and more behaviour problems of the child compared with parents of non-autistic pre-schoolers. Parenting stress and children’s behaviour problems are both associated with parenting behaviours, but have not yet been investigated together. Method 42 mothers of autistic and non-autistic pre-schoolers were observed during mother-child interaction and they reported on parenting behaviours, parenting stress, and children’s externalising behaviour problems. Spearman correlations between all variables were calculated for the ASD group and the non-ASD group separately, and Linear Mixed Models were built to investigate whether parenting stress and externalising behaviour problems were similarly associated to parenting behaviours in both groups. Results Mothers in the ASD group reported more parenting stress and more externalising behaviour problems than mothers in the non-ASD group. In the ASD group only, parenting stress was related to externalising behaviour problems but not to the level of autism characteristics. In both groups, more externalising behaviour problems were associated with more observed negative parenting behaviours (i.e., criticising and ignoring the child), and more parenting stress was associated with less reported autonomy support. Conclusions Our findings indicate that in the case of possibly problematic parenting behaviours, such as negativity and lack of autonomy support, it is important to investigate associated factors like parenting stress and children’s behaviour problems. An individualised strengths and needs assessment could then offer a tailored intervention to families with an autistic pre-schooler.

Predictors of synchronized verbalizations in mothers of children at elevated likelihood of autism / Ines BRYS ; Lotte VAN ESCH ; Melinda MADAREVIC ; Floor MOERMAN ; Lyssa DE VRIES ; Petra WARREYN ; Jean STEYAERT ; Herbert ROEYERS ; Ilse NOENS in Research in Autism, 125 (July 2025)

Yet, the relationship, between parents" synchronized verbalizations and child development is almost. exclusively studied in a one-directional manner. We therefore investigated the, predictive value of child development (i.e. language and cognitive abilities and autism, research diagnosis) on parents" synchronized verbalizations. Methods We observed, 93 mother-child dyads containing children at elevated likelihood of autism (i.e. siblings, and preterms). Child language and cognitive abilities were assessed around 10, months, parenting behaviors around 14 months, and best estimate research diagnoses, were given around 36 months. We ran hierarchical linear regression models to predict, (a) all synchronized verbalizations and (b) synchronized verbalizations which were, posed in a non-directive manner. Results Early language abilities, but not cognitive, abilities or autism research diagnosis predicted mothers" synchronized verbalizations. Results were similar for both operationalizations of synchronized verbalizations (i.e. all and non-directive). Our findings indicate that the current uni-directional view might need to be expanded to a more transactional model.
