Book excerpt: "Parents of children with ASD [autism spectrum disorder] experience increased parenting stress and caretaking burden, and are more vulnerable to depression and anxiety than parents of TD [typically developing] children. Likewise, TD siblings of children with ASD may also be at risk for behavioral and emotional difficulties arising from compromised family functioning, parent distress, and the challenges of growing up with a sibling with an ASD...The present study examined the role of TD child and maternal experiential avoidance in TD child well-being."--Abstract
