This study was designed to investigate the parental responsiveness change processes of two young children with autism in parent-child interaction. This study aimed to explore the differences and similarities in parental responsiveness between the two parents of young children with autism. Also, the study wanted to explore the possible reasons that effect the parental responsiveness change. The subjects participated in this study were two of the most changeable responsiveness parents of young children with autism. In order to exclude external threat on this study, two young children with autism were selected based on their developmental quotient. Data analysis included parent-child interaction videotapes, child and family information sheets and the interview. The results showed that the parental responsiveness change depends on the situation. Subject one improved the responsiveness but was unable to maintain in the early intervention center, however, the responsiveness improved continually at home. Subject two first improved the responsiveness in the early intervention center, however, the responsiveness improved slowly at home. The similarity of the two parents in responsiveness change was the expression of affect. The differences between the two parents were that Subject one waited for the child to respond, included people games and followed the child in the interaction; Subject two used mand commend, and played the game repeatedly and directively. In this study, the possible reasons to influence the parental responsiveness change were the parental characteristics, family factors, and the child characteristics including temperament, communication and symbolic play with young autistic children.
