N2 - SYNOPSIS: Objective. Coparenting (CP) representations as assessed using self-report or interviews are associated with coparental behavior among families with typically developing (TD) children. The current study examined whether the same would apply among families with children with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), or that there would be no such association due to the communication and behavioral difficulties related to children’s diagnosis. Design. The CP representations of parents of 80 preschooler boys with ASD were assessed using self-report, and CP behaviors were assessed in the Lausanne Trilogue Play (LTP) procedure and in a novel Coparental conversation task. Results. More positive CP representations as reported by mothers, but not fathers, were associated with more positive Coparental behaviors during the LTP and during the parental conversation task, even after controlling for children’s cognitive level and severity of symptoms and for parents’ Broad Autism Phenotype and years of education. Conclusions. Coparenting as studied in families of TD children is applicable in families with children with ASD.
