Academic Scientific JournalsExperiences of Fathers with Children who Have Autism Spectrum Disorders. A Research Overview
Keywords:
autism spectrum disorders, family, parenting, father, fatherhood, experiences from fatherhoodAbstract
Nowadays, autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are diagnosed with increasing frequency. Regardless of the reasons that explain the phenomenon, more and more families are affected. Recent decades have seen an impressive increase in the number of studies covering a wide range of connected topics, including parenting. The results of ongoing research indicate that the effects of having a child with ASD – just like the disorder itself – are multifaceted, complex, and debilitating, affecting all areas in which parents and families function. Against the background of the global number of studies on parenting, there are only few that have focused on fathers of children with ASD as the subject of their inquiry. This article presents an overview of research findings focused on the experiences of parents, including the experiences of fathers.
