Overview

Narrative review uncovers severe psychological distress, social stigma, and spiritual coping mechanisms among parents of children with autism, highlighting the need for structured support systems.

Key Points

  • To evaluate the psychosocial burdens encountered by parents of children with autism spectrum disorder in Bangladesh and identify the coping strategies used to mitigate these difficulties.
  • Conducted a comprehensive literature search across PubMed, PsycINFO, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, CINAHL, and Web of Science using PRISMA reporting guidelines.
  • Identified 75 initial records and applied inclusion and exclusion criteria to select 15 studies for qualitative synthesis.
  • Parents face extensive social exclusion, religious misconceptions, and healthcare negligence, contributing to high rates of anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation, with mothers experiencing the greatest psychological burden.
  • Coping strategies primarily center on forming peer support networks, seeking knowledge regarding autism spectrum disorder, practicing religious spirituality, and utilizing problem-focused approaches amidst scarce professional services.
