- Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare mothers of autistic children, with or without stress regarding the burden of care, child's autonomy and perception of family support. Participants were 30 mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) between 3 and 7 years old. The instruments used were: Inventário Biosociodemográfico, Inventário de Sintoma de Stress de Lipp, Escala de Sobrecarga de Zarit, Inventário de Avaliação Pediátrica de Incapacidade e Inventário de Percepção de Suporte Familiar. The results showed that mothers with stress had almost twice the perception of burden, whereas those without stress perceived themselves with greater family support, mainly regarding affect and autonomy in relation to their relatives, as expression and communication of affections and respect for their freedom and taken of decisions. Thus, the results pointed to the importance of family support for the maternal adaptation to their child's condition.
