Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 28-1 (February 1986) . - p.53-61 Titre : Assessing the impact of a child with spina bifida on the family Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Marie C. MCCORMICK, Auteur ; Edward B. CHARNEY, Auteur ; Margaret M. STEMMLER, Auteur Année de publication : 1986 Article en page(s) : p.53-61 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study examined the characteristics of families which may be more vulnerable than others to the impact of caring for a child with spina bifida. Morbidity and the use of health services were unexpectedly high. The impact on the family was related less to clinical diagnoses than to the characteristics of the child's functioning in the home and of the family. Major predictors of greater impact on the family were the number of the child's activities of daily living, parental perceptions of the child's health, low maternal educational attainment, low family income, the number of adults in the family, insurance status, the number of visits to a doctor in the month before the interview, and whether the adults in the family were employed. These results reinforce the need for assessments to include the child's function in the home, and for additional resources to help some families care for their child.

Brief Report: No Association Between Parental Age and Extreme Social-Communicative Autistic Traits in the General Population / Elise B. ROBINSON in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 41-12 (December 2011)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 41-12 (December 2011) . - p.1733-1737 Titre : Brief Report: No Association Between Parental Age and Extreme Social-Communicative Autistic Traits in the General Population Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Elise B. ROBINSON, Auteur ; Kerim M. MUNIR, Auteur ; Marie C. MCCORMICK, Auteur ; Karestan C. KOENEN, Auteur ; Susan L. SANTANGELO, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.1733-1737 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorders  Autistic traits  Parental age  ALSPAC Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This is the first investigation of the relationship between parental age and extreme social-communicative autistic traits in the general population. The parents of 5,246 children in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) completed the Social and Communication Disorders Checklist (SCDC). The association between parental age and SCDC scores was assessed in the full sample and among high scoring individuals (e.g. top 5%, 1%). There was no association between parental age and social-communicative autistic traits in the general population. Neither maternal nor paternal age was associated with extreme scores. These findings suggest that advanced parental age does not confer increased risk for extreme social and communication impairment assessed quantitatively.
