Abstract:
Many families are directly involved in caring of their children with the lifelong autistic spectrum disorders. Sometimes, they are the victims of their children's behaviors. The family, including siblings, may have to explain the children's behaviors to others. Their mothers have poorer mental health with difficulties in family adaptability and cohesion. Its burden is not just limited to psychologic aspects but on the quality of life, economic aspects, and parent-child relationship. This is a narrative review of some of the aspects that families of children with autistic spectrum disorders are facing.
