Clinical and individual features associated with maternal stress in young adolescents with autism spectrum disorder / Francesco SCIBELLI in Autism Research, 14-9 (September 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 14-9 (September 2021) . - p.1935-1947 Titre : Clinical and individual features associated with maternal stress in young adolescents with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Francesco SCIBELLI, Auteur ; Elisa FUCA, Auteur ; Silvia GUERRERA, Auteur ; Elisabetta LUPI, Auteur ; Paolo ALFIERI, Auteur ; Giovanni VALERI, Auteur ; Stefano VICARI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1935-1947 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adolescent  Autism Spectrum Disorder/complications  Child  Female  Humans  Mothers  Parenting  Parents  Problem Behavior  Stress, Psychological/complications  adolescence  autism symptoms  cognitive  emotional and behavioral problems  maternal stress  parent mediated therapy  socio-demographic features Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Parents of people with autism spectrum disorder experience both negative stressful and positive events. Several clinical and socio-demographic features of children on the autism spectrum have been associated with parenting stress in their families. However, there have been few studies that focus on adolescents and the role of cognitive impairment has rarely been addressed. The main aim of the present research is to explore associations between autism symptoms, cognitive impairment, emotional and behavioral problems, socio-demographic features, and maternal stress in a sample of young adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder with and without cognitive impairment. Cognitive impairment and emotional and behavioral problems are associated with maternal stress, while autism symptoms seem to play a minor role. Maternal education and occupation are only associated with maternal stress in the group with cognitive impairment, while maternal age is stress-associated in the group of adolescents without cognitive impairment. Age-related implications for intervention and future research directions are discussed. LAY SUMMARY: Parents of individuals on the autism spectrum are exposed to both negative stressful and enriching experiences during their parenthood. While the influence of several child characteristics and socio-demographic features on parental stress during childhood has been widely explored in past studies, studies on teenagers are limited. The aim of the present research is to explore the influence of several characteristics on maternal stress levels in families with teenagers on the autism spectrum. We found that cognitive impairment and emotional and behavioral problems are associated with maternal stress, while autism symptoms seem to play a minor role. Socio-demographic features are not associated with maternal stress. Broadly speaking, the subjective perception of parental distress in both groups is less related to teenagers' characteristics then the perception of having a difficult interaction with the teenagers. We divided our participants into two groups (one group with cognitive impairment and the other group without). We found that mothers of teenagers with cognitive impairment are generally more stressed compared to the other group. Furthermore, we confirm that emotional and behavioral problems seem to play a major role in maternal stress (especially in the group without cognitive impairment), while autism symptoms seem to play a minor role. Furthermore, we found that maternal education/occupation and maternal age are associated with maternal stress in the group with and the group without cognitive impairment respectively. This research highlights the association between several variables and stress in mothers of adolescents on the spectrum. Results are discussed in the framework of previous findings highlighting the lack of adequate care and support services for families, especially for those of adolescents on the spectrum with cognitive impairment.

The purpose of this cross-sectional cohort study of 270 children with ASD was to assess the prevalence of insomnia using the Pediatric Sleep Clinical Global Impression Scale and to correlate sleep problems with cognitive level, adaptive behavior, parental stress, behavioral and emotional problems, and severity of core symptoms. Our findings revealed that one-third of children had insomnia and were related to reduced adaptive behaviors and higher levels of parental stress and behavioral and emotional problems. Insomnia must be evaluated in children with ASD to define an appropriate intervention to potentially alleviate the severity of clinical correlates and parental burden.

Parental Stress and Caregiver Role Modulate Child–Caregiver Prosodic Synchrony in Autism: A Computational Analysis / Maria Grazia LOGRIECO in Autism Research, 19-3 (March 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 19-3 (March 2026) . - e70189 Titre : Parental Stress and Caregiver Role Modulate Child–Caregiver Prosodic Synchrony in Autism: A Computational Analysis Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Maria Grazia LOGRIECO, Auteur ; Giulio BERTAMINI, Auteur ; Laura CASULA, Auteur ; Mohamed CHETOUANI, Auteur ; Silvia GUERRERA, Auteur ; Mirco FASOLO, Auteur ; Paola VENUTI, Auteur ; Maria Luisa SCATTONI, Auteur ; Francesca FULCERI, Auteur ; Stefano VICARI, Auteur ; David COHEN, Auteur ; Giovanni VALERI, Auteur Article en page(s) : e70189 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : artificial intelligence  autism  caregiver role  interaction  parents  prosodic synchrony  stress Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : ABSTRACT Parental stress influences parent?child interactions in typical development and is a prognostic factor of autism outcome. However, we still do not know to what extent parental stress affects parent?child interactions and whether caregiver role matters. This study explored the relationship between parental stress and prosodic synchrony in parent?child vocal interactions, drawing on complex dynamic systems and affective computing frameworks. We assessed 62 dyads (31 autistic preschoolers, interacting separately with their mother and father) during structured play interactions at two time points (12?months apart) along with perceived parental stress. We used a Deep Learning model to segment child-caregiver acoustic interactions with high accuracy automatically. Downstream, prosodic synchrony was modeled through cross-recurrence quantification analysis. Linear mixed-effects models were used to assess the impact of parental stress, caregiver role, and time on synchrony metrics. Models showed significant associations between parental stress and synchrony metrics for spectral and formant amplitude features. Higher stress levels were linked to less stable, predictable, and structured interactions. These effects were more pronounced in father?child dyads compared to mother?child dyads. Permutation analyses confirmed that these associations were specific to moment-to-moment coordination rather than general acoustic similarity. In autistic children, parental stress levels are linked with the temporal dynamics of parent?child prosodic synchrony, specifically affective speech and moment-to-moment coordination. It appears to be more pronounced in fathers. The results underscore the importance of fostering parental well-being and tailoring interventions to account for differences between maternal and paternal interaction patterns in autism.
