Mothers and Fathers of Young Developmentally Disabled and Nondisabled Boys: Adaptation and Spousal Support.

Chronic Stresses of Families of Mentally Retarded Children.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that discrepancies between expectations and the performance of the developmentally disabled child continue periodically to bring on a need for information and feelings of grief, and that clinicians who understand this can better serve these families and can anticipate periods of difficulty thus possibly ameliorating some of those stresses.
