Factors influencing adjustment in siblings of children with autism spectrum disorders
TL;DR: A path analysis indicated that symptom severity in the children with ASD was positively associated with adjustment difficulties in the typical siblings; this relationship was mediated by maternal depression, but not sibling impact.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased rates of depressed mood in mothers of children with ASD associated with the presence of the broader autism phenotype
TL;DR: The findings suggest that the higher rate of depression found in mothers of children with ASD may be attributed both to the increased stress of raising a child with ASD, as well as a greater number of autistic features in the mothers that may place them at higher risk for developing depression.

Journal ArticleDOI
