Psycho-Social Well-Being among the Parents of Children with Autism.

Gray, David E.; Holden, William J.

Australia and New Zealand Journal of Developmental Disabilities, v18 n2 p83-93 1992

This study of psychosocial well-being among 172 Australian parents of children with autism found that fathers and those parents receiving more social support had lower scores of depression, anxiety, and anger. Age of symptom onset was related to depression but not to anxiety and anger. No relationship was found between coping behaviors and psychosocial well-being. (Author/JDD)
