Abstract
Background and purpose: Autism spectrum disorder and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder are
part of neurodevelopmental disorders that are caused by abnormal brain development and affect specific
cognitive and social abilities. The present study was conducted with the aim of comparing self-compassion
and post-traumatic growth of mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder and attention deficit/
hyperactivity disorder.
Method: The design of the current research was of causal-comparative type. The statistical population
included all mothers with 7-9-year-old boys with autism spectrum disorder and attention deficit/
hyperactivity disorder who referred to the rehabilitation and counseling centers of Golestan province
in 2021. A sample of 50 people (25 people for the group of mothers with children with autism spectrum
disorder and 25 people for the group of mothers with children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder)
were purposefully selected from among the mothers. To collect data, Neff's self-compassion questionnaire
(2003) and Tedeschi and Calhoun's post-traumatic growth questionnaire (1996) were used. Data analysis
was done with SPSS-24 software and using independent t-test and multivariate analysis of variance.
Findings: Based on the results obtained from the data analysis in the current study, there is a significant
difference in self-compassion and post-traumatic growth in mothers of children with autism spectrum
disorder and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (P<0.05). Mothers of children with autism spectrum
disorder had less self-compassion and post-traumatic growth than mothers of children with attention
deficit/hyperactivity disorder (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Based on the findings of the present study, mothers with a child with autism spectrum disorder
have lower self-compassion and post-traumatic growth than mothers with a child with attention deficit/
hyperactivity disorder due to the therapeutic and time involvement with their vulnerable child.
