Mothers of children with Down syndrome, autism, and mixed etiology intellectual disabilities, matched on child age, gender, and communication skills (n = 19 in each group) completed measures of their child's adaptive and problem behaviors, their own parenting stress, and positive perceptions of their child. Children with autism were rated as having more problem behaviors and lower levels of social competence than children with Down syndrome and mixed etiology intellectual disabilities. Mothers of children with autism scored lower on positive perceptions of their child, and higher on stress than the other two groups. After selecting closely matched groups, we found several group differences in child behavior but little evidence of group differences in maternal outcomes.
患有唐氏综合征、自闭症和混合病因智力障碍的儿童的母亲，按儿童年龄、性别和沟通能力进行匹配（每组 19 名），完成了他们孩子的适应和问题行为、自身育儿压力和对孩子的积极看法的评估。与唐氏综合征和混合病因智力障碍的儿童相比，自闭症儿童的问题行为更多，社会能力更低。自闭症儿童的母亲对孩子的积极看法较低，压力较大。在选择了匹配度非常高的两组后，我们发现了儿童行为方面的一些组间差异，但母亲结果方面的组间差异证据很少。
