This study examined differences in mother-child relationship quality and parent-rated child behavior problems based on child verbal status (i.e., minimally verbal versus verbal) in mothers and their adolescent and adult children with autism spectrum disorder (n = 219 dyads; child M = 25.38 years, SD = 10.22). Relationship quality was assessed via parent-reported maternal burden and mother-child closeness, and coded speech samples ascertaining maternal critical and positive remarks regarding the child. Groups did not differ in relationship quality. The verbal group was more likely to display disruptive and socially inappropriate behaviors, but otherwise the groups did not differ in behavior problems. Verbal status moderated the relationship between behavior problems and negative (maternal burden, critical remarks) but not positive (mother-child closeness, positive remarks) aspects of relationship quality.
本研究考察了基于母亲和其患有自闭症谱系障碍的青少年和成年子女的言语状态（即轻度言语和言语），母子关系质量和父母评定的儿童行为问题的差异（n=219 对；儿童 M=25.38 岁，SD=10.22）。通过父母报告的母亲负担和母子亲密感评估关系质量，并通过编码的言语样本确定母亲对孩子的批评和积极评价。两组在关系质量上没有差异。言语组更有可能表现出破坏性行为和不恰当的社交行为，但在行为问题方面两组没有差异。言语状态调节了行为问题与关系质量的消极方面（母亲负担，批评意见）而非积极方面（母子亲密感，积极意见）之间的关系。
