Shown in the table the percentage of parents with significant percentiles on the PSI-SF subscales: Parental Distress (PD), Difficult Child (DC), D-PCI (Dysfunctional Parental Child Interaction) and Total Stress. Table 2A reports the comparison between Study groups (all disorders) and Typical Development (TD). Table 2B reports the comparison among Study groups (ASD, ADHD, RTT, SS). statistically significant results are marked with *.
