“…Moreover, we hypothesise that externalising behaviour problems are associated with self-reported supervision and safety in the ASD group, but we have no specific hypotheses for the control group (Lindsey et al, 2020).…”

Pre-school age can be a stressful time for parents of a young child with autism spectrum disorder. This study investigated whether parenting stress and externalising behaviour problems were similarly associated to parenting behaviours in 42 mothers of pre-schoolers with and without autism, using observations and questionnaires. Mothers of autistic pre-schoolers reported more parenting stress and more externalising behaviour problems, demonstrated fewer sensitive and more negative behaviours, and reported less stimulation of their child’s development, compared with mothers in the control group. In both groups, externalising behaviour problems predicted negativity during observation, and parenting stress predicted reported autonomy support. Our findings may suggest that mothers of autistic pre-schoolers are still struggling to tune their parenting behaviour to their child’s needs.

“…Moreover, after controlling for intellectual disability and maternal mental health, the presence of ASD significantly increased the odds for hyperactivity, conduct problems and emotional symptoms. Also, as mentioned above, Lindsey et al found that ASD symptom severity was significantly and positively correlated with child externalizing problems 9 . In summary, children with greater severity of symptoms of autism are likely to have more behavioral problems.…”

“…Second, few studies have simultaneously considered two perspectives (professionals and caregivers) to investigate symptoms of autism. For example, the studies of Lindsey et al 9 , Toisika et al 14 , and Jang et al 13 used a parent report questionnaire to assess symptoms of autism, while the studies of Strang et al 12 , Mazurek et al 10 , Matson et al 6 , Sterling et al 11 , and Kim et al 4 used a professional-administered assessment to identify symptoms of autism. Only the study by Kanne et al 3 , considered two perspectives.…”

The aim of the study was to investigate the associations between symptoms of autism and emotional and behavioral problems in children with autism spectrum disorder from both caregivers’ and clinicians’ perspectives. Three main findings were found in our study. First, the association patterns were similar in the preschool and school-aged children. Second, different association patterns were found from caregivers’ and professionals’ perspectives. From the professionals’ perspective, only repetitive behaviors were associated with behavioral problems, while from the caregivers’ perspective, all symptoms of autism were associated with emotional and behavioral problems. Third, different types of symptoms of autism were associated with different types of emotional and behavioral problems. For example, from the professionals’ perspective, restricted and repetitive behaviors were only associated with hyperactivity and inattention. From the caregivers’ perspective, social emotion was associated with emotional symptoms, and other symptoms of autism were associated with hyperactivity and inattention, as well as with peer problems. The results of our study provided deeper understanding of the relationships between symptoms of autism and emotional and behavioral problems, and the findings could serve as a reference for intervention planning when clinicians approach children with autism spectrum disorder.

“…The BASC-3 PRS-P has been found to have both strong internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.83-0.93 across composites and scales) and test-retest reliability (r = 0.87-0.92 across composites and scales) (Reynolds & Kamphaus, 2015). It is noted that the BASC has been widely used in autism research (Bradstreet et al, 2017;Ellison et al, 2019;Gardner et al, 2018;Lindsey et al, 2020;Mahan & Matson, 2011;Volker et al, 2010).…”

There is growing evidence for an association between sensory reactivity and mental health in autism. This study set out to explore the relationship between sensory reactivity and mental health in pre-school aged autistic children. In total 54 preschool-aged children with an Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) took part. Sensory and mental health symptoms were obtained from the Sensory Processing Scale Inventory, Sensory Assessment of Neurodevelopmental Differences and the Behavioural Assessment System for Children – 3. Correlational analyses showed a relationship between sensory reactivity and mental health symptoms in autistic preschool-aged children. Results also indicate divergence in sensory-mental health profiles between autistic preschool-aged children who are verbal and those who use few to no words. For the first time this study has revealed a relationship between sensory hyper-reactivity, as well as sensory seeking, and mental health symptoms outside of anxiety in autism. Of note, this relationship between sensory hyper-reactivity and internalising symptoms appears to be driven by those with few to no words. This has implications for both research and clinical interventions, in particular for our understanding of the factors underlying mental health symptoms in different autistic phenotypes, as well as the possible role of functional communication in mitigating the development of mental health symptoms
