“…This may be due to sample differences, with a large proportion of children with Down Syndrome in other reports (Flaherty & Glidden, 2000; Glidden & Schoolcraft, 2003). The lower levels of behavior problems reported in children with Down Syndrome (Einfeld et al, 2007), may be associated with improved parent well-being.…”

“…However, a significant proportion (50%–100%) of samples studied consisted of children with Down syndrome (Flaherty & Glidden, 2000; Glidden & Schoolcraft, 2003), retrospectively collected parent mental health data (Flaherty & Glidden, 2000), or did not consider child behavior problems (Glidden & Schoolcraft, 2003; Seltzer et al, 2001). As lower rates of behavior problems are seen in children and adolescents with Down syndrome (Einfeld, Tonge, Gray, & Taffe, 2007), reported positive outcomes may be a function of this bias. Longitudinal research focussing on psychological stress and child behavior problems to date has consisted of varying follow-up periods of 12–24 months in children and 1.5–6 years in adults.…”

Although elevated rates of parent psychosocial distress have been associated with child behavior and emotional problems, little is known about the nature of this relationship over time. This study followed an epidemiological cohort of children and adolescents over 11 years with 4 waves of data collection. Within this cohort, complete data were available on 238 mothers and their children. Behavior and emotional problems were assessed using the DBC, maternal mental health with the GHQ. Multivariate growth curve modelling was used to evaluate the commonality of individual change patterns. High levels of mental health problems were reported, which were stable over time. Higher scores on the DBC were associated with higher rates of mental health problems. Increases in child social relating problems were associated with increases mental health symptoms, particularly depression and anxiety.

Objective To (1) model growth in anxiety and depressive symptoms from late school age through young adulthood in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and controls with developmental delay (DD); and (2) assess relationships between internalizing growth patterns, participant characteristics, baseline predictors, and distal outcomes. Method Data were collected between 6-24 years of age in 165 participants (n=109 with ASD; n=56 with nonspectrum DD), most of whom received diagnostic evaluations in both childhood and early adulthood. Questionnaires were collected approximately every 3-6 months between ages 9-24. Parent-rated Child and Adult Behavior Checklists (CBCL; ABCL) and Developmental Behavior Checklist anxiety- and depression-related subscale distributions were modeled with mixed-effects Poisson models, covarying diagnosis, age, verbal IQ (VIQ), gender, and significant two- and three-way interactions. Results Anxiety was positively associated with VIQ, and controlling for VIQ, both anxiety and depressive symptoms were greater in ASD than nonspectrum participants. Female gender predicted greater increases over time in anxiety and depressive symptoms for both diagnostic groups. Lower maternal education was associated with increasing internalizing symptoms in a subset of less verbal individuals with ASD. In exploratory post-hoc analyses, internalizing symptoms were associated with poorer emotional regulation in school age, and with lower life satisfaction and greater social difficulties in early adulthood. Conclusion Findings support previous claims that individuals with ASD are at particular risk for affect- and anxiety-specific problems. While symptom levels in females increase at a faster rate throughout adolescence, males with ASD appear to have elevated levels of depressive symptoms in school age that are maintained into young adulthood.
