The Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are characterised by general deficits in social communication, stereotypes, and restricted interests. The ASD have a high prevalence of additional psychiatric disorders that make their daily functioning worse, and reduces the quality of life of them and their families.
In an effort to identify family environmental characteristics that may influence in the course of additional psychiatric disorders, this study has focused on the symptoms of parental stress and psychological distress as possible risk factors. A cross-section study was carried out on the relationship between the stress and psychological distress of the parents and its relationship with co-existing psychopathology in a population of pre-school children with ASD (2-6 years).
High levels of stress and psychological distress of the parents arealready associated, since early childhood, with co-existing psychiatric symptoms, specifically with emotional and behavioural problems (p < 0.05). However, further longitudinal studies are needed for a better understanding of the causal relationship between these variables and their possible bidirectional relationship.
自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的特征是社交沟通普遍存在缺陷、存在刻板行为和兴趣受限。ASD常伴有其他精神障碍，这会使他们的日常功能恶化，并降低他们及其家人的生活质量。
为了确定可能影响其他精神障碍病程的家庭环境特征，本研究重点关注父母压力和心理困扰的症状，将其作为可能的风险因素。对一群患有ASD（2至6岁）的学龄前儿童的父母压力与心理困扰及其与共存精神病理学之间的关系进行了横断面研究。
父母的高压力水平和心理困扰自童年早期就已与共存的精神症状相关，特别是与情绪和行为问题相关（p < 0.05）。然而，需要进一步的纵向研究来更好地理解这些变量之间的因果关系及其可能的双向关系。
