“Best Things”: Parents Describe Their Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder Over Time

October 14, 2020 | 10:30 – 11:30 am | Zoom 

This presentation will summarize the results of a study that examined parental perceptions of the character strengths of their children with autism from early childhood to age 11. Parental descriptions of the “best things” about their children were coded using the basic framework of the Values in Action Classification of Strengths. Results are congruent with a contemporary neurodiversity perspective that emphasizes strengths and resilience.
