Title: | Age-related differences in the association between autistic sons' challenging behaviour and maternal anxiety and depression: implications for counsellors | Contributor(s): | Bitsika, Vicki (author) ; Sharpley, Christopher F (author) | Publication Date: | 2020 | Early Online Version: | 2020-04-08 | DOI: | 10.1080/03069885.2020.1750561 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/29891 | Abstract: | The associations between sons' challenging behaviour and mothers' anxiety and depression were investigated in four age-subgroups of boys with Autism Spectrum Disorder and their mothers (n=49). Significant correlations were found only for the 6-yr-old boys' irritability and their mothers' anxiety (r=.808) and depression (r=.762), and for the 7-yr-old boys' stereotypy and their mothers' depression (r=.745). MANOVA and ANOVA found no significant differences between the irritability of the 6-yr-old boys and that of the remaining boys, nor between the 7-yr-olds' stereotypy and the remaining boys, plus no significant difference in the mothers' anxiety and depression scores across age groups. Implications are drawn for counselling and psychotherapy. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | British Journal of Guidance and Counselling, 48(3), p. 406-417 | Publisher: | Routledge | Place of Publication: | United Kingdom | ISSN: | 1469-3534 0306-9885 |
