患有唐氏综合症、自闭症和混合病因性智力障碍的儿童的母亲，在孩子的年龄、性别和沟通技能上匹配(每组n=19)，完成了对他们孩子的适应性和问题行为、他们自己的育儿压力和对他们孩子的积极看法的测量。自闭症儿童比唐氏综合症和混合病因智力障碍儿童有更多的问题行为和更低的社交能力水平。自闭症儿童的母亲在对孩子的积极看法上得分较低，而在压力方面的得分高于其他两组。在选择了接近匹配的组后，我们发现了几个组在儿童行为上的差异，但几乎没有证据表明组内母亲的结果存在差异。
Mothers of children with Down syndrome, autism, and mixed etiology intellectual disabilities, matched on child age, gender, and communication skills (n = 19 in each group) completed measures of their child's adaptive and problem behaviors, their own parenting stress, and positive perceptions of their child. Children with autism were rated as having more problem behaviors and lower levels of social competence than children with Down syndrome and mixed etiology intellectual disabilities. Mothers of children with autism scored lower on positive perceptions of their child, and higher on stress than the other two groups. After selecting closely matched groups, we found several group differences in child behavior but little evidence of group differences in maternal outcomes.
