Children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often experience developmental delays and behavioral difficulties, which are associated with poor parental mental health. Conversely, impaired parental mental health has been linked to delays in the child's development, marital conflict, and increases in undesirable parenting practices. Furthermore, parental emotional functioning can affect treatment participation, outcomes, and adherence, which is troubling given the benefits of early intervention and parental participation in treatment for youth diagnosed with ASD. Therefore, it is vital that researchers identify factors that could potentially enhance parental mental health to facilitate the effectiveness of appropriate prevention/intervention strategies, as well as screening procedures. Several factors have been associated with parental emotional functioning/mental health in families of ASD youth, including parental stress, family resilience, informal parental support, and formal parental support. However, the past literature has failed to examine these constructs among a large representative sample of youth diagnosed with ASD. The current study sought to examine parental mental health as a function of informal/peer support, formal support, family resilience, and parental stress, as well as potential mediating effects, among a national sample of youth diagnosed with ASD. Additionally, the study evaluated how small daily routine activities between the parent-child dyad (i.e., talking, attending events, sharing a family meal) impacted family resilience. Analyses used the 2016 National Survey of Children's Health database. Parents of 1,097 youth reportedly diagnosed with ASD between the ages of six to seventeen years old answered survey questions about parental support, family resilience, parent-child relationship stress, parental mental health, and small acts between the parent-child dyad. The study found a significant positive relationship between family resilience and parental mental health, where increases in family resilience predicted better parental mental health. Formal support was negatively associated with parental mental health, such that increases in the amount of formal support a parent endorsed was associated with decreases in parental mental health. The present study found that increases in family resilience were related to lower reports of parent-child relationship stress. Reports of more in peer support predicted greater parental stress. Lastly, increases in the small acts between the parent-child dyad (i.e., having a meal, a parent feeling they could talk to the child, and parental involvement in the child's activities) predicted more family resilience. No significant relationships were found between parental mental health and parent-child relationship stress or peer support. No significant relationships between family resilience and peer support or formal support were found. Overall, findings suggest that family resilience is associated with a parent's level of stress and mental health among families that have a child with ASD. Additionally, the results indicate the potential positive effect of increasing parent-child activities on family resilience. The study's implications, limitations, and directions for future research are discussed.
