Abstract

Recognizing the multifaceted and chronic demands on families of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and challenges in providing care matched to need, we adapted the Psychosocial Assessment Tool (PAT), a brief caregiver-report screener of family psychosocial risk, for this population. Study methods included literature review, focus groups with providers, and feedback from caregivers. The PAT-ASD is consistent with the original PAT, with new items reflecting core behavioral manifestations of ASD and parent and family challenges associated with chronicity. The PAT-ASD was implemented in a four-month pilot and was completed online by 59% of families. Although further testing of its validity is necessary, the PAT-ASD is a promising means of assessing family psychosocial risk for families of children with ASD.

The red flag items were those related to suicidality, having been the victim of crime, abuse or domestic violence, or reporting an unstable living arrangement. Other red flags included a serious medical problem in caregiver(s) and a child or sibling who wanders. Two family beliefs, “This is a disaster” and “It’s my fault my child has ASD” were also categorized as red flags.

Using data from the electronic health record at our institution, the race/ethnicity, and patient age and gender are comparable to the broader patient population treated at this AC.
