Abstract
Objectives
Previous research has examined levels of parenting stress and social support among parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and typically developing (TD) children. Research has yet to examine the extent to which social support may impact levels of parenting stress above and beyond child ASD and ADHD symptomology. The potential mediating role that social support may play in relation to parenting stress also has yet to be investigated. Given these gaps, the aim of the current study was to examine the role of social support as it relates to maternal parenting stress in the context of diverse child ASD and ADHD symptomology.
Methods
Data were obtained using a cross-sectional online survey and were analyzed using a hierarchical linear regression.
Results
Analysis revealed a significant relationship between social support and parenting stress above and beyond child symptomology. Mediation analyses revealed that social support mediated the relationship between child ASD symptomology and parenting stress suggesting that social support may play a role in these relationships. However, social support was not found to mediate the relationship between child ADHD symptomology and parenting stress.
Conclusion
Clinical recommendations for practical ways to bolster social support in parents and families, as well as directions for future research avenues are discussed.

Advances in Neurodevelopmental Disorders publishes high-quality research in the broad area of neurodevelopmental disorders across the lifespan. Study participants may include individuals with:Intellectual and developmental disabilitiesGlobal developmental delayCommunication disordersLanguage disordersSpeech sound disordersChildhood-onset fluency disorders (e.g., stuttering)Social (e.g., pragmatic) communication disordersUnspecified communication disordersAutism spectrum disorder (ASD)Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), specified and unspecifiedSpecific learning disordersMotor disordersDevelopmental coordination disordersStereotypic movement disorderTic disorders, specified and unspecifiedOther neurodevelopmental disorders, specified and unspecifiedPapers may also include studies of participants with neurodegenerative disorders that lead to a decline in intellectual functioning, including Alzheimer’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, frontotemporal dementia, corticobasal degeneration, Huntington’s disease, and progressive supranuclear palsy. The journal includes empirical, theoretical and review papers on a large variety of issues, populations, and domains, including but not limited to: diagnosis; incidence and prevalence; and educational, pharmacological, behavioral and cognitive behavioral, mindfulness, and psychosocial interventions across the life span. Animal models of basic research that inform the understanding and treatment of neurodevelopmental disorders are also welcomed. The journal is multidisciplinary and multi-theoretical, and encourages research from multiple specialties in the social sciences using quantitative and mixed-method research methodologies.
