Couple relationships among parents of children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder: Findings from a scoping review of the literature
2015, Research in Autism Spectrum DisordersCitation Excerpt :Supporting people with ASD, as well as their families, has become an urgent priority for service providers and government organizations (Brookman-Frazee, Drahota, Stadnick, & Palinkas, 2012; Harris, Durodoye, & Ceballos, 2010; Health Canada, 2007). While much of existing ASD research has focused on genetic factors, characteristics, treatment, and outcomes for diagnosed children, a significantly smaller number of reports have examined the experiences of parents of affected children and related need for effective supports and interventions for them across the lifespan (Gray, 2002; Harris, 1984; Stoddart, 1999; Stoddart, Burke, & King, 2012; Van Bourgondien, Dawkins, & Marcus, 2014). Practitioners and parents commonly perceive that there is a high risk of divorce in parents of children with ASD (Freedman, Kalb, Zablotsky, & Stuart, 2012; Randall, 2009; Shumaker, 2013; Sobsey, 2004); the results of empirical analysis are not as clear, however.
