Cathryn Rench PhD will facilitate a workshop regarding the impact of parental autism spectrum disorder on conflict resolution at the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts AFCC 53rd Annual Conference, Modern Families: New Challenges, New Solutions. Seattle Washington, June 1-4, 2016.
The Impact of Parental Autism Spectrum Disorder on Conflict Resolution
The majority of married adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) remain undiagnosed, contributing significant and unexplained challenges to all spheres of family functioning.
Healthcare providers, educators and family law professionals who do not discern how parental ASD impacts conflict resolution face the risk of compounding a family’s presenting issues.
This workshop offers a thorough review of the current literature on adult ASD, and presents data from a new study on co-parenting when a partner has ASD. To read the full abstract please click here.
