Product Description:

This study examined the impact of ASD on 46 Latina & 56 non-Latina White mothers from a resiliency perspective. We explored perceptions of family problems, optimism & pessimism among mothers of child with ASD. Results indicated fewer perceived family problems and less pessimism about the child's future among Latina mothers. We found maternal optimism and family cohesion were associated with perceived family problems & mother's pessimism about the child's future.
