The aims of this pilot study are to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a peer-delivered co-parenting program, Autism Parent Navigators (APN), for parents of children recently diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Thirty families (63 caregivers) participated in a mixed-method quasi-experimental test of the six-week intervention. Feasibility and acceptability data were collected weekly. Outcome data were collected at baseline, post-test, and 3-month follow-up. The findings suggest that the APN program was generally feasible to deliver in a community setting and was acceptable to parents of children with ASD. The results also offer promising preliminary evidence of the program’s impact on parents’ ASD service navigation, co-parent relationship quality and parent well-being. APN could be an effective tool for supporting families in the months following their child’s diagnosis.

这项试点研究的目的是评估同伴提供的共同养育计划自闭症家长导航器 (APN) 对最近被诊断患有自闭症谱系障碍 (ASD) 的儿童的父母的可行性、可接受性和初步效果。30 个家庭（63 名照顾者）参加了为期六周干预的混合方法准实验测试。每周收集可行性和可接受性数据。在基线、测试后和 3 个月的随访中收集结果数据。研究结果表明，APN 计划在社区环境中实施通常是可行的，并且 ASD 儿童的父母可以接受。结果还为该计划对父母的 ASD 服务导航、共同父母关系质量和父母幸福感的影响提供了有希望的初步证据。
