AutInsight: A Pilot Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT) of a Consumer-Informed Parent Support Program for Parents of Autistic Children / Jia Ying Sarah LEE in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 56-7 (July 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 56-7 (July 2026) . - p.2588-2605 Titre : AutInsight: A Pilot Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT) of a Consumer-Informed Parent Support Program for Parents of Autistic Children Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jia Ying Sarah LEE, Auteur ; Koa WHITTINGHAM, Auteur ; Amy E. MITCHELL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2588-2605 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : AutInsight is an innovative, consumer-informed parent support program for parents of autistic children grounded in perspectives from qualitative research with autistic adults. The current study outlines the development and evaluation of AutInsight through a pilot randomised controlled trial. Parents (N = 41) of autistic children (10 years and younger) were randomly allocated to AutInsight (n = 20) or care-as-usual (n = 21) and completed online questionnaires across three timepoints (baseline, post-program and 3-month follow-up). Measures include parental sensitivity, parental acceptance and understanding, psychological flexibility, mindful parenting, parental mental health, overall family experience, quality of life, and child behaviours. Intent-to-treat analyses indicated greater rates of improvement for parents allocated to the AutInsight program, with small- to medium-sized effects for parent-reported parental sensitivity (EA-SR mutual attunement d = 0.84, EA-SR child involvement d = 0.50), as well as overall autism family experience (AFEQtotal d = 0.38, AFEQfamily life d = 0.29). Greater rates of improvement were also found in parent-reported child conduct problems (SDQ d = 0.62) and prosocial behaviours (SDQ d = 0.48). No significant results were found in observed parental sensitivity or any other measure. Results suggest preliminary evidence of effectiveness, feasibility and acceptability of the AutInsight program. A larger, fully powered trial is warranted. This trial was prospectively registered with the Australian and New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (Trial ID: ACTRN12623000806662).

Autistic traits in the general population: What mediates the link with depressive and anxious symptomatology? / Ainslie ROSBROOK in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 4-3 (July-September 2010)

This study examined the role of three potential mediating variables in the relationship between autistic traits and depressive/anxious symptomatology in the general population. Participants included 231 university students (114 males, 117 females) ranging in age from 17 to 35 (M = 18.9, SD = 2.77). Participants completed five standardised questionnaires which measured: autistic traits, depressive/anxious symptomatology, social competence, social problem-solving ability, and teasing history. Two multiple mediation analyses were conducted using the bootstrapping method. Results revealed that social problem-solving ability and past teasing experiences were significant partial mediators in the relationship between autistic traits and depressive symptoms. However, contrary to expectations, social competence was not a significant mediator in the relationship between autistic traits and depressive symptoms. In addition, social problem-solving ability and past teasing experiences were significant partial mediators in the relationship between autistic traits and anxiety symptoms. This suggests that interventions to reduce anxious and depressive symptomatology in the ASD population should focus upon improving social problem-solving ability and reducing bullying experiences at school. These initial findings should be confirmed in the ASD population in future research.

The current study concerned examination of the qualitative data arising from the RCT as well as evaluation of the particular parenting strategies that the parents found helpful. The results showed that parents were satisfied with the program, including the partial group format. Further, the majority of participants found the parenting strategies within Stepping Stones Triple P to be helpful, including timeout, physical guidance and blocking. In addition, many of the parents also used the additional strategies of Comic Strip Conversations and Social Stories and the majority of the parents who attempted these strategies found them to be helpful. The clinical implications of the findings are discussed.

Do parental attributions affect treatment outcome in a parenting program? An exploration of the effects of parental attributions in an RCT of Stepping Stones Triple P for the ASD population / Koa WHITTINGHAM in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 3-1 (January 2009)

Fifty-nine families with a child with ASD participated. This study focussed upon the role of parental attributions in predicting treatment outcome. Stepping Stones altered parental attributions such that following participation in Stepping Stones parents were significantly less likely to believe that their child's misbehaviour was caused by factors intrinsic to their child and more likely to believe that their child's ASD-related behaviour may change in the future. Parental attributions before the intervention significantly predicted change in the dysfunctional parenting styles over-reactivity and verbosity throughout the intervention. The implications of these findings are discussed in the context of developing a model for the role of parental attributions in predicting treatment outcome.

Efficacy of very early interventions on neurodevelopmental outcomes for infants and toddlers at increased likelihood of or diagnosed with autism: A systematic review and meta-analysis / Andrea McGlade in Autism Research, 16-6 (June 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 16-6 (June 2023) . - p.1145-1160 Titre : Efficacy of very early interventions on neurodevelopmental outcomes for infants and toddlers at increased likelihood of or diagnosed with autism: A systematic review and meta-analysis Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Andrea McGlade, Auteur ; Koa WHITTINGHAM, Auteur ; Jacqui BARFOOT, Auteur ; Leisa TAYLOR, Auteur ; Roslyn N. BOYD, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1145-1160 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : behavioral intervention  biomarker  developmental psychology  early intervention  infants Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract The aim of this systematic review was to determine the efficacy of very early interventions for infants and toddlers at increased likelihood of or diagnosed with autism for autism symptomatology, developmental outcomes and/or neurocognitive markers. Eight databases were searched (14 April 2022) with inclusion criteria: (i) RCTs with care as usual (CAU) comparison group, (ii) participants at increased likelihood of or diagnosed with autism and aged <24 months corrected age (CA), (iii) parent-mediated and/or clinician directed interventions, and (iv) outcome measures were autism symptomatology, cognition, language, adaptive skills, or neurocognitive assessments (EEG and eye tracking). Quality was assessed using Risk of Bias 2 and GRADE. Nineteen publications from 12 studies reported on 715 infants and toddlers. There was low to moderate certainty evidence that clinician-assessed outcomes did not show significant treatment effects for: autism symptomatology (ADOS CSS: MD 0.08, 95% CI 0.61, 0.44, p 0.75), cognitive outcome (Mullen Scales of Early Learning-Early Learning Composite (MSEL-ELC): SMD 0.05, 95% CI 0.19, 0.29, p 0.67), receptive language (MSEL?Receptive Language: SMD 0.04, 95% CI 0.21, 0.3, p 0.74) or expressive language (MSEL-Expressive Language: SMD 0.06, 95% CI 0.1, 0.23, p 0.45). Neurocognitive outcomes (EEG and eye tracking) were heterogeneous, with inconsistent findings. There is low to moderate certainty evidence that very early interventions have limited impact on neurodevelopmental outcomes by age 3 years.
