Grit protects Chinese parents of autistic children from the risk of psychological distress by reducing perceived parenting stress / Kelly Ka Lai LAM in Research in Autism, 132 (April 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism > 132 (April 2026) . - 202829 Titre : Grit protects Chinese parents of autistic children from the risk of psychological distress by reducing perceived parenting stress Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Kelly Ka Lai LAM, Auteur ; Kaixin LIANG, Auteur ; Liuyue HUANG, Auteur ; Xiuyun LIN, Auteur ; Zhiyong WANG, Auteur ; Honghai LIU, Auteur ; Peilian CHI, Auteur Article en page(s) : 202829 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Chinese parents of autistic children  Grit  Parenting stress Résumé : Parenting a autistic child can be more stressful than parenting a child with typical development. To date, less is known about whether grit may help parents of autistic children to overcome psychological distress. This study aimed to investigate the association between grit and psychological distress among Chinese parents of autistic children and explore the underlying mechanism of this association. A cross-sectional sample of 200 Chinese parents of autistic children was analyzed, including data on grit, perceived parenting stress, and psychological distress. Structural equation modeling (SEM) and bootstrapping with 5000 resamplings (95 % confidence interval) were employed to test hypotheses. Our findings showed significant direct effects of grit on perceived parenting stress and psychological distress in parents of autistic children. Perceived parenting stress significantly mediated the effect of grit on psychological distress, and this indirect effect was significantly better in fathers and those parents with a high school education or below. Interventions that develop the skills of parents of autistic children to help them cultivate grit and better manage stress can have the potential to overcome psychological distress, and these mitigating effects may be more effective in helping fathers and parents with a high school education or less.

Self-compassion, mental health, and parenting: Comparing parents of autistic and non-autistic children / Kaixin LIANG in Autism, 29-1 (January 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 29-1 (January 2025) . - p.53-63 Titre : Self-compassion, mental health, and parenting: Comparing parents of autistic and non-autistic children Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Kaixin LIANG, Auteur ; Kelly Ka LAI LAM, Auteur ; Liuyue HUANG, Auteur ; Xiuyun LIN, Auteur ; Zhiyong WANG, Auteur ; Honghai LIU, Auteur ; Peilian CHI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.53-63 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism  mental health  parenting  self-compassion Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Parenting stress experienced by parents of autistic children is well-documented. Recent evidence suggests that self-compassion may be a protective factor against parenting stress. However, it?s not clear how self-compassion contributes to better parenting outcomes. This study examined the associations among self-compassion, mental health (ill-being and well-being indicators), and parenting experience (parenting stress and parenting competence) in 178 parents of autistic children and 178 parents of non-autistic children. Results indicated that parents of autistic children had lower levels of self-compassion compared to parents of non-autistic children. In both groups of parents, self-compassion was linked to lower levels of ill-being and high levels of well-being, and directly related to higher levels of parenting competence. In parents of non-autistic children, both ill-being and well-being acted as mediators in the relationships between self-compassion and parenting outcomes. However, in parents of autistic children, only well-being (but not ill-being) mediated the relationships between self-compassion and parenting outcomes. These findings underscore the importance of promoting self-compassion and well-being to enhance parenting experiences for parents of autistic children.Lay abstractParenting can be challenging for any parent, particularly for those parenting autistic children. Research has shown that being kind, accepting, and mindful toward oneself during suffering, a concept known as self-compassion, can help enhance mental health. However, it is not fully understood how self-compassion benefits parenting experiences for parents of autistic children. Therefore, we conducted a study involving 178 parents of autistic children and 178 of autistic children to explore the associations between self-compassion, mental health, and parenting experiences. We found that parents of autistic children reported less self-compassion compared to parents of non-autistic children. For both groups of parents, self-compassion was linked to lower levels of ill-being and parenting stress, as well as higher levels of well-being and parenting competence. In parents of non-autistic children, both ill-being and well-being played a mediating role in the relationship between self-compassion and parenting experiences. However, in parents of autistic children, only well-being was found to mediate this relationship. These findings emphasize the importance of self-compassion and well-being in improving parenting experiences for parents of autistic children.
