| Popis: | Perhaps the most traumatic experience for a parent is watching their child suffer in front of their eyes. Parenting, by its very nature, is a stressful activity; however, the stress of caring for an autistic child along with the myriad challenges it brings, can take a toll on parents’ health. To meet the complex demands of a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), families can suffer from emotional, financial, and even physical burdens, which in turn leave them with little time for self-care and can lead to mounting sleep deprivation. In this review, an attempt has been made to understand the various challenges and stresses faced by the parents of a child with ASD. This review specifically focuses on mental health challenges, lack of sufficient time for self-care, problems related to communication, challenges associated with caring for an autistic child, stigmatisation related to mental health disorders, and the financial burdens faced by the parents of autistic children. |
