Description
Caring for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) poses a myriad of challenges to families. Research has focused on negative outcomes of caregiving experience such as stress, depression, anxiety, and disruption of social relationships. Much less attention, however, has been paid to the positive aspects of experience in parenting a child with needs. The purpose of this study was to examine both positive and negative aspects of the experience in parenting a child with ASD and relate them to child symptom severity and parenting competence. Multivariate regression analyses indicated a significant effect of interaction between enrichment and parenting efficacy on the prediction of stress.
