Abstract: Objective To explore the correlation between parental stress and family function of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) children. Method Parents of 307 ASD children completed general demographic questionnaire,Parenting Stress Index (PSI),Family Assessment Device (FAD). Results 1)The differences of PSI scores of acceptability,demandingness,role restriction were statistically significant (P<0.05) between parents of male and female ASD children;PSI scores of distractibility/hyperactivity,adaptability,mood,acceptability,demandingness,attachment and the total stress score were significantly different between parents of preschool and school-age ASD children (P<0.05),PSI scores of multiple dimension were significantly different between low-income families and the higher income group (P<0.05);2)The problem solving ability of families of preschool ASD children was stronger than that of school-age ASD children (P<0.05);The family functions of higher income group in problem solving,roles,affective responsiveness behavior control and the general functioning as evaluated by FAD scale were significantly better than the lower income group (P<0.05);3)The parental pressure was negatively correlated with parental years of education and household income,but positively correlated with the age of patients and all the subscales of FAD.The parental pressure was mainly affected by mother's years of education,the behavior control and the general functioning of FAD. Conclusions Family is under certain pressure in the upbringing of children with ASD,the pressure is even larger with male ASD children,meanwhile,the parental pressure and family function are effected by family income; The worse family function is,the bigger parents pressure will be.
