Siblings play an important role in the lives of their brothers and sisters with intellectual disability when they reside in the parental home. Many assume a primary caregiving role following the death of their parents or when parents are no longer able to give care. Sources of stress reported by 39 adult siblings of lrish men and women with intellectual disability were explored.Siblings who were primary caregivers were older and earned less income than their counterparts in a second group who lived in the parental home and who had an especially close bond with their brother or sister with intellectual disability. Perceived social support as well as their brother or sister's independence were significantly related to the stress reported by siblings on the short form of the QRS-F. Neither levels of reported stress nor the presence of a plan for their relative's future distinguished the two groups of siblings.

“…Maternal pessimism about the future of the son or daughter with ASD was measured with 10 items from the Pessimism subscale of the Questionnaire on Resources and Stress (QRS-F; Friedrich, Greenberg, & Crnic, 1983). An example of an item includes, "It bothers me that my son/daughter will always be this way."…”

This study investigated the associations between the characteristics of adolescents and adults with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and maternal well-being. Two groups were compared: mothers of adolescents and adults with ASD and co-morbid psychiatric disorders (n = 142) and mothers whose sons or daughters had a single diagnosis of ASD (n = 130). Individuals with co-morbid psychiatric disorders had higher levels of repetitive behaviors, asocial behavior, and unpredictability of behavior than their counterparts with ASD only. They also had poorer rated health as well as more frequent gastrointestinal problems and sleep problems. Mothers of sons and daughters with ASD and comorbid psychiatric disorders reported higher levels of burden and a poorer quality parent-child relationship than mothers of sons and daughters with ASD only. Higher levels of asocial behavior, unpredictability of behavior, and poorer health in sons and daughters with ASD were predictive of greater burden in mothers and a poorer quality parent-child relationship. Keywordsautism; co-morbidity; psychiatric disorders; adolescents and adults; burden There is accumulating evidence that mothers of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) experience higher levels of stress and mental health symptoms than mothers of typically developing children and children with other types of disabilities (Abbeduto et al., 2004;Blacher & McIntyre, 2006;Eisenhower, Baker, & Blacher, 2005;Greenberg, Seltzer, Krauss, Chou, & Hong, 2004;Weiss, 2002). Mothers of adults with mental illness experience a similar pattern of compromised well-being (Greenberg, Seltzer, & Greenley, 1993;Greenberg, Seltzer, Krauss, & Kim, 1997;Pruchno, Patrick, & Burant, 1996;Seltzer, Greenberg, Floyd, Pettee, & Hong, 2001). Although a number of studies report high rates of co-morbid psychiatric disorders (e.g., depression, anxiety, etc.) in individuals with ASD (Bradley, Summers, Wood, & Bryson, 2004;de Bruin, Ferdinand, Meester, de Nijs, & Verheij, 2007;Ghaziuddin, Weidmer-Mikhail, & Ghaziuddin, 1998;Leyfer et al., 2006;Tsakanikos et al., 2006), little is known about the effects of such co-morbidity on maternal well-being. Kim, Szatmari, Bryson, Streiner, and Wilson (2000) found that mothers who had children with ASD and anxiety or depression reported greater isolation and worried more about their child's future compared to mothers who had children with ASD only. Apart from the Kim et al. report, no other study has examined the well-being of mothers whose sons or daughters had both ASD and co-morbid psychiatric disorders. Therefore, this study compared mothers of adolescents and adults who have ASD and co-morbid psychiatric disorders with mothers of individuals who have ASD without other psychiatric disorders. We examined differences in the characteristics of the adolescents and adults with respect to autism symptoms, behavior problems, and physical health and evaluated the relative impact of these differences on maternal well-being.

“…The Parent and Family Problems Subscale of The Questionnaire on Resources and Stress-Short Form (QRS-F; Friedrich, Greenberg & Crnic, 1983) was used to measure general parenting stress associated with the child with ASD. This 20-item measure includes five items relating to depression (Gidden & Floyd, 1997), which were excluded from analysis in the current study to avoid measurement overlap, as depression was measured separately with the HADS.…”

General mindfulness and mindful parenting had significant mediation effects for maternal anxiety, depression, and stress. These results contribute to evidence that mindfulness and acceptance may be important parental psychological processes, with implications for parent support.
