        Co-occurring intellectual disability and autism: Associations with stress, coping, time use, and quality of life in caregivers

        Having a child on the autism spectrum (AS) is known to impact caregiver quality of life (QoL), time use, and stress.

This study sought to understand how co-occurring ID in children on the autism spectrum may influence caregiver-related outcomes. Secondary analysis of survey data from caregivers of 278 children on the autism spectrum with (n = 62) and without (n = 216) co-occurring ID was conducted, exploring impacts on caregiver QoL, stress, coping, and time-use. ...

However, the factors accounting for variability in SM remain poorly described and understood. The current study aimed to characterize the relationship between parental and proband SM. Data from 2,759 children with ASD and their parents from the Simons Simplex Collection (SSC) project was included in this study. ...
