| dc.description.abstract | The current study investigated parent-reported impacts associated with disclosing a child’s autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to their child with ASD. This study addressed a distinct gap in the empirical literature, and findings have practical utility for individuals with ASD, their parents, and associated professionals and researchers. A qualitative design was used, whereby 15 semi-structured interviews were conducted with parents of a child with ASD, who had disclosed their child’s diagnosis to their child, and were living in Alberta, Canada. Interviews were carefully transcribed. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis, with six themes arising: Communication about ASD; Understanding ASD; Awareness of ASD Features; Specific Child Reactions and Impacts; Views and Feelings Associated with ASD; and Magnitude and Valence of Impacts. Overall, current findings suggest that parental diagnosis disclosure to their child with ASD is associated with discernible positive impacts. | en_US |
