A Study on Life of an Autistic Child with the Support of Supportive Systems
Subscribe/Renew Journal
The literature on the adaptation of families of children with disabilities repeatedly indicates that is it important for service providers to understand family belief systems, both in a general sense and with respect to each family as a unique entity. Researchers document the importance of understanding families’ worldviews. The selection of treatments and the decision making about the day-to-day care of children with ASD typically involves negotiation by both parents. However, often only the mother’s perspective is represented in literature. Since mothers and fathers of a child may have different appraisals of their child’s treatment needs, the parents’ different appraisals can be a source of stress for parents and a cause of unease and potential arguments. The article analyzes in detail these core domains in relation to the lives of autistic kids. The author suggests that a collaborative approach between professionals/researchers and autistic kids is needed to develop meaningful solutions to these challenges, and presents possibilities for collaboration.
