“…In terms of parent education programs for parents of children on the AS, many teaching approaches exist and programs differ in mode of treatment delivery, therapeutic components provided and targeted recipients [17,24,25]. Most parent education programs tend to address core symptom areas of the AS (such as communication and social interaction) or problem behavior although programs can address more specific aspects such as sleep, toilet training and feeding [17].…”

Autism is a neurodevelopmental condition with biological, genetic, environmental and developmental causes, which are still not clearly understood. Parents are usually the primary caregivers for their children and the essential link between home and school environments. Often they also take on a coach or therapist role across a variety of interventions, which demands a great amount of time, dedication, energy and financial resources. Increased parent skills allow for continued opportunities for the child to learn in a range of different situations and environments, and parent training is now considered an important component of successful intervention programs. This paper is a review of current research regarding parent training for parents of children on the autism spectrum.

“…Thus, our knowledge about the causes of this disorder has progressed a long way since the "refrigerator mother" hypothesis, popular in the 1950's (cf. Marcus et al, 1997). However, as Schreibman (2005) observes, theories of psychogenic aetiology of autism have left a climate full of suspicion and distrust in the relationship between parents and professionals.…”

“…A contributing factor to behavioural unpredictability is the child's asymmetrical development in various areas: from relatively typical development, through regression, to severe developmental delay (cf. Marcus et al, 1997). An illustrative example is a girl described by Moreno and Donnellan (1991), who was able to define words such as "perigee" and "apogee" at the age of seven, but was unable to communicate her everyday needs.…”

“…Given the inadequacies of children with autism, the improvement of family life can be seen as a surprising fact. The studies have been cross-sectional by nature, examined the effects of the family at certain points over time, and focused on the development of problems related to a turning point and adaptations to these problems (Gray, 1994(Gray, , 1998Marcus, Kunce & Schopler, 1997;Mesibov & Handlan, 1997). Nevertheless, when these study results are considered compositely, it appears that this literature creates a consistent perspective on a problem, that these families experience a number of stages of adjustment to the child's autism, and that families gradually adapt to the experience of living with a child with autism.…”

When literature is examined, it is seen that generally there are descriptive studies examining the effects of young children with autism in a certain age or age range on their parents' marital and family relationships as well as psychological conditions such as mourning, stress, anxiety, and depression. Longitudinal studies on the social experiences of parents of children with autism are scarce. It was observed that there was not a longitudinal study in Turkey, evaluating the emotional processes parents live through from the years when their children are diagnosed with autism until the university education, the changes they experience in family relations, the problems they encounter in their children's education process, and the emotional-social support services they receive/do not receive. This study is a qualitative study that examines the 15-16 years of experience of autistic children's parents by analyzing video interview records that were carried out using a semi-structured interview form. The results were examined under seven themes and five sub-themes, and the results that were obtained were in accordance with the literature.
