One promising avenue is to consider whether child?parent similarity contributes to a protective family environment. For instance, investigations of the similarity?fit hypothesis have shown that parent?child attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) trait similarity is associated with more favourable parent or child ratings of parenting and parent?child interaction. However, very little similarity?fit research has focused on autism, and none to date has investigated whether parent?child trait similarity is more broadly predictive of children's outcomes beyond parent?child interaction. We assessed whether parent?child autism and ADHD trait similarity predicted children's social functioning and psychological well-being in early childhood in a family history cohort. Methods Our analytic sample comprised 222 children (45.5% female) and their parents from a longitudinal family history (autism and/or ADHD) cohort. A novel parent?child trait similarity measure was computed for autism and ADHD traits in each parent?child pair, and robust hierarchical regression was used to assess whether mother?child and father?child autism and ADHD similarity predicted children's social functioning and psychological well-being at age 3?years, after accounting for the main effects of parent and child traits. Results Mother?child autism trait similarity positively predicted both social functioning and psychological well-being in children, while mother?child ADHD trait similarity positively predicted children's social functioning (but not well-being). Furthermore, father?child autism trait similarity positively predicted children's social functioning, though it fell just short of statistical significance in outlier-robust regression. Conclusions Our findings suggest that parent?child neurodevelopmental trait similarity may act as a protective or promotive factor for children's early social functioning and psychological well-being. Further work is warranted to determine whether there are similar effects in later childhood and to investigate the potential mechanisms underlying similarity?fit effects on children's outcomes.

Evidence from twin studies has shown that family SES moderates genetic and environmental influences on child mental health. However, it is also known that SES is itself under genetic influence and previous gene?environment interaction (G*E) studies have not incorporated the potential genetic overlap between child mental health and family SES into G*E analyses. We applied a novel approach using extended family data to investigate the moderation of aetiological influences on child emotional and behavioural problems by parental socioeconomic status in the presence of modelled gene?environment correlation. Methods The sample comprised >28,100 children in extended-family units drawn from the Norwegian Mother, Father and Child Cohort Study (MoBa). Mothers reported children's emotional and behavioural symptoms. Parents' income and educational attainment were obtained through linkage to administrative register data. Bivariate moderation Multiple-Children-of-Twins-and-Siblings (MCoTS) models were used to analyse relationships between offspring outcomes (emotional and behavioural symptom scores) and parental socioeconomic moderators (income rank and educational attainment). Results The aetiology of child emotional symptoms was moderated by maternal and paternal educational attainment. Shared environmental influences on child emotional symptoms were greater at lower levels of parents' education. The aetiology of child behavioural symptoms was moderated by maternal, but not paternal, socioeconomic factors. Genetic factors shared between maternal income and child behavioural symptoms were greater in families with lower levels maternal income. Nonshared environmental influences on child behavioural symptoms were greater in families with higher maternal income and education. Conclusions Parental socioeconomic indicators moderated familial influences and nonshared environmental influences on child emotional and behavioural outcomes. Maternal SES and child mental health share aetiological overlap such that shared genetic influence was greater at the lower end of the socioeconomic distribution. Our findings collectively highlight the role that family socioeconomic factors play in shaping the origins of child emotional and behavioural problems.
