“…The finding from this study contradicted most of the previous studies, whereby parents and caregivers displayed significantly low stress levels in this study, accounting for 98.2% of the population. The research findings were parallel to the study conducted by Jx et al (2017), which also found that parents and caregivers who care for children with ASD experienced less stress and expressed great satisfaction in caring for the children.…”

“…Nevertheless, Jx et al (2017) highlighted in their study that there are minimal studies that particularly examine parenting stress in parents of children with ASD; the outcomes of existing studies are inconsistent, and not all demographic parameters were examined. Therefore, this study was conducted to identify the level of parental stress among parents and primary caregivers of autistic children.…”

Parenting is a journey that may bring joy, happiness, challenges, and frustration. However, raising children with autism with unpredictable behavior may elevate parental stress among parents and family caregivers. Objective: The study aims to assess parental stress among family caregivers of children with autism in a teaching hospital. Methods:This quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted at Hospital Al-Sultan Abdullah (HASA), University Technology MARA(UiTM), using a convenient sampling technique with a total sample size of 110 parents and family caregivers of children with autism (n= 110). An online questionnaire consisting of the Parental Stress Scale (PSS) and the Childhood Autism Spectrum Test (CAST) was used in this study to assess the level of parental stress and identify the severity of probable autistic behavior. Results:The finding shows that 75.5% of the participants were female and 94.5% were Malay. Most autistic children were male (63.6%), and most children (n= 81, 73.6%) had severe autistic behavior. However, 82.7% of participants reported low parental stress (mean = 34.41±13.06). Caregivers were found to have higher stress levels t(108) = -2.16; p=0.033). Besides, there was no significant association between the level of parental stress and the severity of autism (r=0.035, p=0.715). Conclusion:Special intervention is needed for the caregiver to improve stress management strategies by involving health care professionals for counseling and assistance to address the effects of stress. Alarger sample size is recommended for future research to enhance external validity.

“…Autism is the developmental disruption of a person's neurological system in terms of his or her social and communication skills, limited and repetitive behaviour, information processing senses, and experience of an uncommon and variety of interests when doing tasks (Autism Spectrum Disorder, 2018;Hood, 2015;Iuculano et al, 2014;Jx et al, 2017;Oie, 2016). Examples of such interruptions are language delay, lack of social interaction in the environment, unstable emotions, persistent preoccupation with objects of interest, and intellectual deficiencies (Baio et al, 2018).…”

Mathematics is one of the most challenging subjects for many students. A similar problem is faced by special needs students, such as students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Various instructional strategies are implemented by specialists to help ASD students understand mathematics in schools. To explore the impacts of an instructional strategy of mathematics on ASD students, the authors conducted a review of literature from 2011 to 2017 using various databases including ProQuest Digital Dissertations and Theses Full Text, Google Scholar, and Science Direct. A total of 39 articles were found. Most of the instructional strategy aimed to assist ASD students in solving mathematics problems. The implications of the study are also discussed in this literature review, which indicates that teachers need to use the appropriate instructional strategy to meet the needs of students with ASD and maximize their mathematics learning outcomes in schools.

“…Many parents reported experiencing a crisis phase related to several aspects of their lives, especially those related to childcare. Even some parents reported experiencing high levels of depression, anxiety, decreased mental health, and stress (Lee, Ong, Lee, & Nazri-AR, 2017;Weiss & Lunsky, 2011;Weiss, Wingsiong, & Lunsky, 2014). Stress is a negative psychological condition experienced by parents in children with autism spectrum disorders and is thought to be the result of parents and child interactions.…”

This study aimed to examine parenting self-efficacy especially in mothers who have children with autism spectrum disorder and who suffer from parenting stress. They showed symptoms of anxiety and depression, which indicated parenting stress. Parenting self-efficacy is predicted to be a factor that can decrease anxiety and depression. There were 45 mothers from the city of Surabaya selected through purposive sampling technique to be the participants of this study. The data were collected through a survey using questionnaires concerning Self-efficacy for Parenting Task Index (SEPTI) and Parenting Stress Index Short Form (PSI-SF). The data analyzed using the statistical parametric of the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient showed that the correlation coefficient was -0.424 and the significance was 0.004. It was concluded that high parenting self-efficacy of mothers who have children with autism spectrum disorder correlates with parenting stress.
