Cover Story: Parent–child interactions are influential to a wide range of positive developmental processes in neurotypical children, yet contributions to our understanding of these interactions using observational methods in families of children on the autism spectrum are lacking. We investigate how autism symptoms might impact these interactions and whether these interactions are substantially different in families of neurotypical children in late childhood. We report no differences in the observed levels of supportive behavior exhibited by parents. Parents of autistic children had higher levels of observed directive behavior which may address specific needs for their children. Our findings reinforce literature on younger children describing positive parenting characteristics and further rebuke historical accounts of negative parenting qualities of parents of autistic children.
