Mental health, broad autism phenotype and psychological inflexibility in mothers of young children with autism spectrum disorder in Australia: A cross-sectional survey / Kavindri KULASINGHE in Autism, 25-5 (July 2021)

Lack of social support, parenting challenges and relationship difficulties are more common for mothers of children with autism and can all affect maternal mental health. Mothers of children with autism are also more likely to have some autistic features, called the broad autism phenotype, that can contribute to poorer mental health; however, how these factors relate to one another are unclear. This study found that mothers who were less flexible in their thinking and behaviour and had more difficult parenting experiences tended to have poorer mental health. Mothers with more autistic features were less flexible in their thinking and behaviour, which, in turn, was linked to greater symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress. Mothers with greater autistic features also reported more difficult parenting experiences, which was in turn linked with greater symptoms of anxiety and depression. This study suggests that supporting mothers of young children with autism to manage parenting challenges and become more flexible with their thinking and behaviour could help to improve their mental health.

Parental Acceptance and Understanding of Autistic Children (PAUACS) – an Instrument Development Study / Jia Ying Sarah LEE in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 56-4 (April 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 56-4 (April 2026) . - p.1309-1324 Titre : Parental Acceptance and Understanding of Autistic Children (PAUACS) – an Instrument Development Study Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jia Ying Sarah LEE, Auteur ; Koa WHITTINGHAM, Auteur ; Amy E. MITCHELL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1309-1324 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Currently there are no instruments designed to assess parents’ acceptance and understanding of their autistic child. We aimed to develop and evaluate the reliability and validity of a parent-report scale assessing parents’ acceptance and understanding of their autistic child – the Parental Acceptance and Understanding of Autistic Children Scale (PAUACS). A total of 158 parents (74 non-autistic, 42 autistic, 42 questioning; mean age 42.69 years) of autistic children (mean age 10.80 years) completed an online survey comprising the prototype PAUACS as well as validated measures of parental sensitivity, neurodiversity affirming attitudes, autistic traits, mental health, and child adjustment and family experience. A subsample of participants (n = 97; 61.4%) completed the PAUACS questionnaire a second time, 2 weeks later, to assess for test-retest reliability. The final 30-item scale demonstrated excellent internal reliability (α = 0.89) and test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation = 0.92). Exploratory factor analysis revealed a clean structure comprising four distinct factors: Understanding (α = 0.86), Innate (α = 0.74), Acceptance (α = 0.82), and Expectations (α = 0.73). Overall, the PAUACS demonstrates good construct validity. Preliminary evidence of convergent validity and divergent validity was demonstrated. Preliminary evidence suggests PAUACS is a reliable and valid tool in assessing parents’ acceptance and understanding of autistic children.

While much is known about the parenting behaviors that influence adjustment in autistic children, little is known about how the effects of parenting persist in autistic adults. Further, autistic adults' perspectives on how they were parented have not been investigated to date. This study aimed to examine autistic adults' perspectives on their experiences of being parented in childhood and the advice they would like to offer to parents of autistic children in the context of their lived experience.
