Brief Summary:
This study will explore predictors of how caregivers might adapt to children diagnosed with a pervasive developmental disorder PDD including autism Asperger s syndrome childhood disintegrative disorder Rett s disorder or other not specified PDD PDD presents particular challenges for caregivers because of the communication and socialization challenges of affected children and because of the uncertainty surrounding the cause prognosis and recurrence risks
People 18 years of age or older who are the primary caregiver for a child diagnosed with a PDD may be eligible for this study Participants fill out a survey either online or in hard copy that includes information in the following categories
How being a caregiver for a child with a PDD has impacted the caregiver
How much control the caregiver feels that he or she or others have over certain aspects of their child s PDD
What the caregiver thinks caused the child s PDD
What coping techniques the caregiver uses in caring for a child with a PDD
How uncertain the caregiver feels about his or her child s PDD

Detailed Description:
This study aims to understand the predictors of adaptation among primary caregivers of children with a pervasive developmental disorder PDD PDD presents particular challenges for caregivers because of the communication and socialization challenges of affected children as well as the uncertainty surrounding the cause prognosis and recurrence risks The literature suggests that these challenges may make the process of adapting to having a child with a PDD different than it is for other chronic conditions This study of caregivers is based on Lazarus and Folkman s Transactional Model of Stress and Coping A cross-sectional design will be used to investigate the relationships among causal attributions control perceptions coping and adaptation Caregivers will be recruited from support groups listservs and magazines targeted to autism and other PDDs Participants will be asked to complete either a web-based or paper survey The main outcome measure is psychological adaptation to caregiving a child with PDD
