ABSTRACT: RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PARENTAL CHARACTERISTICS AND PARENTING STRESS IN PARENTS OF CHILDREN WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER Autism is a complex developmental disorder, includes disorders of communication, behavior, social skills, sensory and learning caused by brain damage. The level of parenting stress experienced by parents of autistic children is very high. Parental characteristics are one of the factors that influence parenting stress. This study aims to determine the relationship between parental characteristics and parenting stress of parents who have children with autism spectrum disorders. This research is an analytic survey research with a cross-sectional design. The research sample consisted of 31 parents who had children with autism spectrum disorders in special schools in Bandar Lampung. The measuring instruments used are parental demographic data and Parenting Stress Index (PSI). The results showed that most of the respondents were middle adults (61.3%), tertiary education (64.5%), working status (54.8%), had an income more than Rp. 3,500,000 (74.2%) and had moderat level of parenting stress (74.2%). The results of the correlation analysis showed that there was a significant relationship between parental characteristics and parenting stress. Age and education are the strongest factors that predict parenting stress. Keyword: Parenting Stress, Parental Characteristics, Autism Autisme merupakan gangguan perkembangan yang kompleks seperti gangguan komunikasi, perilaku, kemampuan sosialisasi, sensoris dan belajar yang disebabkan oleh kerusakan otak. Tingkat stres pengasuhan yang dialami orang tua anak autis sangat tinggi. Karakteristik orang tua merupakan salah satu faktor yang mempengaruhi stres pengasuhan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan karakteristik orang tua dengan stres pengasuhan orang tua yang memiliki anak gangguan spektrum autisme. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian survei analitik dengan desain cross-sectional. Sampel penelitian berjumlah 31 orang tua yang memiliki anak ganggan spektrum autisme di SLB se-Bandar Lampung. Alat ukur yang digunakan adalah data demografi orang tua dan Parenting Stres Index (PSI). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan sebagian besar responden berusia dewasa madya (61,3%), berpendidikan perguruan tinggi (64,5%), status bekerja (54,8%), memilikipendapatan > Rp.3.500.000 (74,2%) dan memiliki tingkat stres pengasuhan sedang (74,2%). Hasil analisis korelasi didapatkan adanya hubungan yang signifikan antara karakteristik orang tua dengan stres pengasuhan. Usia dan pendidikan menjadi faktor yang paling kuat memprediksi stress pengasuhan. Kata Kunci: Stres Pengasuhan, Karakteristik Orang Tua, Autisme

Introduction: The present study aimed to determine the effects of a selected group exercise on motor skills and cognitive function in children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs). Methods: Forty children with ASD aged 5-12 years participated in this quasi-experimental study. The Bruininks–Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency (BOTMP), and the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) were performed in 3 assessment stages of baseline, pretest, and posttest in Sports, Play, and Active Recreation for Kids (SPARK). The repeated-measures Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) were used for analyzing the collected data. Results: The current research results demonstrated that the selected exercises presented positive effects on motor skills (P<0.05) in the studied subjects; however, they indicated no significant effects on their cognitive function (P>0.05). Conclusion: According to the present study results, the SPARK’s training is effective on children with ASDs and severe mobility limitations; however, it presented no cognitive function improvement in the study participants.

A cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate adverse effects associated with risperidone in 45 children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), aged 2–15 years, who were treated at Siriraj Hospital, Thailand, between the years 2006 and 2007. Adverse effects were assessed by parent interview, using a semistructure questionnaire, and medical records review. The mean ± SD age of the children at starting risperidone was8.15±2.98years. The mean ± SD of risperidone dose was0.94±0.74 mg/day and the mean ± SD duration of treatment was36.8±27.8months. Adverse effects were reported in 39 children (86.7%). Common adverse effects included increased appetite, somnolence, and rhinorrhea and most of the adverse effects were tolerable. Tardive dyskinesia or other serious adverse events were not found in this study. The child’s mean ± SD weight gain was4.18±2.82 kg/year, which exceeded developmentally expected norms. The results from this study suggest that risperidone treatment in children with ASD is associated with frequent mild and tolerable adverse effects. However, excessive weight gain could be found to be a concerning adverse effect and weight monitoring is warranted when risperidone is being prescribed.

This descriptive study evaluates the speech disfluencies of 8 verbal children between 3 and 5 years of age with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Speech samples were collected for each child during standardized interactions. Percentage and types of disfluencies observed during speech samples are discussed. Although they did not have a clinical diagnosis of stuttering, all of the young children with ASD in this study produced disfluencies. In addition to stuttering-like disfluencies and other typical disfluencies, the children with ASD also produced atypical disfluencies, which usually are not observed in children with typically developing speech or developmental stuttering.
