Abstract

Parenting is a complex task that comprises many behaviors and interactions between parents and their children. Parenting children with disabilities, specifically children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), was found to put more pressure on those parents than parents of typically developing children. This study aimed to assess the similarities and differences in the internet parenting styles of Saudi parents of children with and without ASD, respectively. This is a descriptive cross-sectional study that utilized a survey questionnaire, the internet Parenting Style Instrument, which was distributed electronically. A total of 222 parents participated, of whom 126 were parents of typically developing children and 96 were parents of children with ASD. The results showed a significant difference in internet parenting styles between parents of children with ASD and those of children without ASD. Both types of parents were found to express high levels of parental control and warmth; however, those with children with ASD exhibit higher levels than others. Parental warmth was found to be associated with parental age, parents' gender, and parental education level. Parental control was found to be significantly associated with parents' gender and the parental middle-aged group. These outcomes could lead to future research interventions that help protect children with ASD online.
