    Outdated beliefs about autism, viewing it as a response to family stress, are myths. These myths hinder effective parental management, necessitating changes in treatment structures for better support.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Developmental Pediatrics
    • Family Studies

    Background:

    • Historical clinical concepts regarding autism have diverged from current social realities.
    • Past assumptions, such as autism being a response to family stress or social withdrawal from a hostile environment, are now viewed as myths.
    • These outdated beliefs can impact parental understanding and management of autistic children.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine the relationship between myth-based beliefs about autism and parental management challenges.
    • To differentiate between specific and general difficulties parents face when managing autistic children.
    • To propose strategies for improving parental management by adapting treatment approaches.

    Main Methods:

    • Historical analysis of clinical concepts and assumptions related to autism.

  • Identification and categorization of parental management difficulties.
  • Exploration of the link between specific myth beliefs and observed management issues.

    • Main Results:

    • Certain historical assumptions about autism are now considered myths, disconnected from social changes.
    • Myth beliefs are associated with parental difficulties in managing autistic children, including confusion, unrealistic expectations, and social role diffusion.
    • Specific management challenges were distinguished from more general ones.

    Conclusions:

    • Outdated beliefs about autism contribute to parental management difficulties.
    • Addressing these myth-based beliefs is crucial for supporting parents of autistic children.
    • Shifting treatment structures from traditional methods can enhance parental management strategies.
