The Society for Help to Autistic Children "Dobro" celebrates 30 years. This is the first organization in Russia advocating the rights of children with autism and with autism spectrum disorders. The initiators of the establishment of “Dobro” as a legal entity were the outstanding child psychiatrist and teacher Klara Samoilovna Lebedinskaya and the parent of a child with autism from the United States of America Roland M. Machold. The core of the organization, which began to form at the turn of the 1980-1990s, were the parents of children involved in the clinical, psychological and pedagogical study group of early childhood autism, which is now known as the Institute of Correctional Pedagogy of the Russian Academy of Education and the staff of this group. For 30 years, employees of the “Dobro” society have provided educational, consultative, informational, psychological support to more than 7000 families of children with autism.

Abstract Date Presented Accepted for AOTA INSPIRE 2021 but unable to be presented due to online event limitations. The aim of this study was to explore cross-cultural differences in the participation levels of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in different settings (home, school, and the community). The findings indicated that children with ASD in the United States tend to have more resources and support than those in Taiwan. This study will enable OTs and researchers to better understand the differences between Western and Eastern countries.

The Cross

Previous studies have shown that Easterners generally perceive themselves as having lower subjective well-being compared with Westerners, and several mechanisms causing such differences have been identified. However, few studies have analyzed the causes of such differences from the perspective of the cross-cultural differences in the meanings of important life events such as whether people receive approval from others. Specifically, events regarding others’ approval might have different meanings to and influences on Easterners and Westerners. Thus, the degree of fluctuation of people’s views of self-worth in response to these events (i.e., others’ approval contingencies of self-worth [CSW]) probably differs between Easterners and Westerners. This may be a reason for cross-cultural differences in subjective well-being. We investigated two samples of undergraduate students from Taiwan and the United States to examine the mediating role of others’ approval CSW in forming cross-cultural differences in subjective well-being. The results revealed that Taiwanese participants exhibited lower subjective well-being and higher others’ approval CSW than American participants. In addition, others’ approval CSW partially mediated the cross-cultural differences in subjective well-being. Thus, one reason for lower subjective well-being among Easterners was likely that their self-esteem was more prone to larger fluctuations depending on whether they receive approval from others in everyday life.
