While existing studies have examined the relationship between parental resilience and mental health in this population, the underlying mechanisms governing this association remain poorly understood. The present study aims to investigate the association between parental resilience and affiliate stigma, examine the mediating role of life satisfaction in this relationship, and assess the moderating effect of ostracism on these pathways.Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional design to examine the relationship between resilience and affiliate stigma among parents of children with ASD, as well as the underlying mechanism. A total of 380 caregivers were recruited from autism intervention centers in Jiangsu Province, mainland China. Participants voluntarily completed questionnaires including the Brief Resilience Scale, the Affiliate Stigma Scale, the Satisfaction With Life Scale, and the Ostracism Short Scale.Results: (1) Resilience of parents of children with autism negatively predicted affiliate stigma; (2) Life satisfaction partially mediated the relationship between resilience and affiliate stigma; and (3) Ostracism significantly moderated the relationship between life satisfaction and affiliate stigma.Conclusion: This study reveals the complex relationship between resilience, affiliate stigma, life satisfaction, and ostracism among parents of children with ASD. It highlights the significance of enhancing parental resilience, improving life satisfaction, and reducing ostracism in alleviating the stress of affiliate stigma in families of children with autism. In the family support system for children with ASD, it is necessary to build an inclusive social environment and provide resources for psychological interventions to enhance parents’ resilience in the face of challenges.Keywords: resilience, affiliate stigma, life satisfaction, ostracism

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
