Families of Autistic Children: Psychological Functioning of Mothers
Abstract
Compared mothers of 20 autistic, 20 Down syndrome, and 20 developmentally normal children matched on several pertinent demographic variables. Results revealed that mothers of autistic children reported less parenting competence, less marital satisfaction, more family cohesion, and less family adaptability than mothers in the other two groups. Mothers of both autistic and Down syndrome children reported more disrupted planning, caretaker burden, family burden, and frequent use of self-blame as a coping strategy than did mothers of developmentally normal children. The practical implications of these findings are discussed, particularly those pertaining to low parenting competence and the use of self-blame as a coping strategy.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
