Le
fait de s'occuper d'un enfant avec un diagnostic de trouble du spectre l'autisme (TSA) a été lié à une série de résultats négatifs pour les
parents, mais on en sait moins sur l'impact putatif sur la relation
parentale. Les
résultats indiquent que les mères et les pères ont déclaré des niveaux
similaires de satisfaction de la relation et qu'elle était
significativement et négativement associée à la dépression parentale et
aux problèmes de comportement de l'enfant avec un diagnostic de TSA. La
satisfaction de la relation n'était pas liée aux problèmes de
comportement d'un frère, au nombre d'enfants dans le ménage et à la
situation socioéconomique de la famille (SEP).

Abstract
Caring for a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder
(ASD) has been linked to a range of negative outcomes for parents but
less is known about the putative impact upon the parental couple
relationship. The relationship satisfaction of parents of children with
ASD was investigated using multilevel modeling. Mothers and fathers (146
couples) reported on their relationship satisfaction, their own
well-being, and the behavior problems of the child with ASD and a
sibling. Results indicated that mothers and fathers reported similar
levels of relationship satisfaction and it was significantly and
negatively associated with parental depression and the behavior problems
of the child with ASD. Relationship satisfaction was unrelated to the
behavior problems of a sibling, the number of children in the household,
and family socioeconomic position (SEP). Further longitudinal research
that captures a broader range of variables is required to build a
theoretical understanding of relationship satisfaction in families of
children with ASD. Current evidence suggests that early intervention
routes targeting either child behavior problems, parental mental health,
or the couple relationship have the potential to benefit
inter-connected subsystems within the broader family system. Autism Res 2017. © 2017 International Society for Autism Research, Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
