Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a disease described as a neurodevelopmental disorder as the impairment of social and communication functions. Life of the people with ASD depends on the early introduction of intensive therapeutic programmes, modifying the undesirable behaviours, and aimed at teaching social and communication skills.
The goal of the present work is to estimation the functioning of families with an ASD child and compare it to the functioning of families with children not diagnosed with ASD.
The study was performed using Flexibility and Cohesion Evaluation Scales. The study included 70 parents of ASD children, and 70 parents with children without diagnosed ASD, as the control group.
The parents of children with autism achieve lower results in the Balanced Cohesion sub-scale than the control group. Also, the parents of ASD children obtained higher scores in the Disengaged sub-scale than the control group.
The results of this papers can suggesting the risk of the appearance of a disturbed family system, functioning in families with children with ASD, which should be a trigger for providing these families with early family functioning diagnosis and consequent support and therapy.
自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)是一种被描述为神经发育障碍的疾病,其特征是社交和沟通功能受损。自闭症谱系障碍患者的生活依赖于早期引入强化治疗方案,纠正不良行为,并旨在教授社交和沟通技能。
本研究的目的是评估有自闭症谱系障碍儿童的家庭的功能,并将其与没有被诊断出自闭症谱系障碍的儿童的家庭功能进行比较。
本研究使用了灵活性和凝聚力评估量表。该研究包括70名自闭症谱系障碍儿童的父母,以及70名其孩子未被诊断出自闭症谱系障碍的父母作为对照组。
自闭症谱系障碍儿童的父母在平衡凝聚力子量表上的得分低于对照组。此外,自闭症谱系障碍儿童的父母在疏离子量表上的得分高于对照组。
本文的结果表明,自闭症谱系障碍儿童家庭中存在家庭系统功能紊乱的风险,这应该成为为这些家庭提供早期家庭功能诊断以及后续支持和治疗的触发因素。
