Resumen

The upbringing of a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) causes a strong impact on family dynamics. When this disorder occurs with another comorbid one, such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), the repercussions on the psychological well-being of the parents can be considerably increased. Knowing what styles and strategies of coping are used more frequently could help to design interventions with families, which could have a positive impact on the manifestation of autistic symptoms. The objective of this study is to delve into the most frequent styles and coping strategies of these families, particularly those of parents of children with ASD + ADHD. The sample consists of 83 families of children between 5 and 8 years of age, divided into three groups: Comparison, ASD and ASD + ADHD. In order to obtain the manipulative IQ, the Raven Color test was used and for the study of coping the questionnaire of stress coping strategies and styles of Fernández-Abascal was administered. The behavior behavioral coping style and the Behavior Disconnection and Palliative Response strategies were superior in the case of the group of parents of children with ASD + ADHD. Avoidance strategies, which are not usually the most effective for the management of stressful situations, seem to be the ones adopted by the parents of children from the TEA + ADHD group (to a greater extent than the parents of the other groups), so that an intervention focused on coping strategies more effective and "protective" against stress would be advisable.
