- Abstract:
- This archival study evaluated data gathered from 105 mothers of children with autism. Fifty-four of the mothers were Hispanic and 51 were Caucasian. Differences in parental burden were examined. This study also examined whether Hispanic mothers of children with autism would rate autism behaviors to be more severe than Caucasian mothers of children with autism. Lastly, the study examined whether Hispanic mothers of children with autism would view their children as less responsible for their behaviors than Caucasian mothers of children with autism. Independent samples t-tests were utilized to compare differences. No significant differences were found between Caucasian and Hispanic mothers in parental burden experienced or in severity of behaviors reported. However, results indicated that Caucasian mothers of children with autism reported higher attributions of behavior than Hispanic mothers of children with autism.
