Introductions:
This study investigates the relationship between stigmatization and stress levels among mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Results:
Findings suggest that indirect measures of stigma through psychological assessment offer a more comprehensive understanding than direct questioning, which may elicit guarded responses.
