WHITEHOUSE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1688-1695 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Past research has highlighted the importance of early identification of developmental differences to improve targeted access to early interventions or supports. As such, it is of particular importance in the context of children at elevated likelihood of autism (such as where an older sibling has a diagnosis of autism), to better understand when and which early concerns are important as predictors of which children will benefit from pre-diagnostic supports. This study explored the number and frequency of retrospective parent reported concerns within the first year of life for children diagnosed with autism, both those who had an older sibling diagnosed with autism and those who did not, as well as for undiagnosed siblings. We found that at both 0–6 and 7–12 months, the only factor related to the presence or absence of early parent reported concerns was child diagnostic status, with the presence of reported early concerns more likely for children with a diagnosis of autism. These findings suggest that for children at elevated likelihood of autism, parents’ concerns are driven primarily by developmental differences, with child’s birth order and sibling diagnostic status not impacting on parent early concerns.

Parenting satisfaction and broader autism phenotype associated with depression, anxiety and stress in caregivers of infants showing early autistic features / Erin O’CONNOR in Research in Autism, 132 (April 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism > 132 (April 2026) . - 202870 Titre : Parenting satisfaction and broader autism phenotype associated with depression, anxiety and stress in caregivers of infants showing early autistic features Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Erin O’CONNOR, Auteur ; Karli TREYVAUD, Auteur ; Cherie C. GREEN, Auteur ; Josephine BARBARO, Auteur ; Murray MAYBERY, Auteur ; Kandice J. VARCIN, Auteur ; Ming Wai WAN, Auteur ; Andrew J. O. WHITEHOUSE, Auteur ; Kristelle HUDRY, Auteur Article en page(s) : 202870 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Caregivers  Supports  Mental health  Parenting  Autism Résumé : While parenting self-efficacy and broader autism phenotype (BAP) have been linked to caregiver depression, anxiety and stress at specific points in time, their influence on longer-term mental health trajectories remains unknown, especially for caregivers who participate in support programs for their infants with very-early autistic features. Through secondary analysis of a longitudinal randomized control trial dataset, using latent growth curve analysis we explored the pattern and personal predictors of caregiver depression, anxiety and stress trajectories over a two-year period in a sample of 100 families of infants with early autistic features (when aged 12 months to 3 years) where families had been randomized to receive a parent-mediated support program or community care as usual. While caregivers were estimated to have stable, low-level depression, anxiety and stress on average, for some individuals, stable and high levels of these were associated with low parenting satisfaction, and higher BAP traits of pragmatic language difficulties and rigidity. There was no evidence that participation in the caregiver-mediated support program had predicted caregiver mental health outcomes. Caregivers of infants with early autism features who themselves present with early, sustained mental health symptoms may benefit from additional specific mental health support.
