Parent responsiveness is critical for child development of cognition, social-communication, and self-regulation. Parents tend to respond more frequently when children at-risk for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) demonstrate stronger social-communication; however, it is unclear how responsiveness is associated with sensory characteristics of children at-risk for ASD. To address this issue, we examined the extent to which child social-communication and sensory reactivity patterns (i.e., hyper- and hypo-reactivity) predicted parent responsiveness to 1-year-olds at-risk for ASD in a community sample of 97 parent-infant pairs. A combination of child social-communication and sensory hypo-reactivity consistently predicted how parents played and talked with their 1-year-old at-risk for ASD. Parents tended to talk less and use more play actions when infants communicated less and demonstrated stronger hypo-reactivity.
父母的反应能力对于孩子认知、社会沟通和自我调节能力的发展至关重要。当患有自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)风险的儿童表现出更强的社会沟通能力时,父母往往会更频繁地做出反应;然而,目前尚不清楚反应能力与患有ASD风险儿童的感官特征之间是如何关联的。为了解决这个问题,我们在一个由97对母婴组成的社区样本中,研究了儿童社会沟通和感官反应模式(即反应过度和反应不足)在多大程度上能够预测父母对1岁患有ASD风险儿童的反应能力。儿童社会沟通和感官反应不足的综合情况始终能够预测父母与1岁患有ASD风险儿童玩耍和交流的方式。当婴儿沟通较少且表现出更强的反应不足时,父母往往会减少言语交流并增加游戏互动。
