Product Description:

The expanding population of adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) will increase burden placed on their aging parents, who often assume the role of primary caregivers. Among aging caregivers of adults with ASD, compound caregiving (caring for additional family members) has become an increasingly common scenario. The present study aims to compare differences between compound and noncompound caregivers on specific dimensions of caregiver burden associated with adult children with ASD.
