Abstract
Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder that not only affects the autistic person, but also their families. For the parents of autistic children, there are many challenges for which they have to be resilient. The present study investigates whether family support is either a protective or a risk factor with respect to parental resilience. Family support is represented by having a partner (civil status), having household support, and grandparent’s involvement. To measure parental resilience, the Walsh Resilience Questionnaire (WFRQ) was used. Results indicated that among parents of autistic children, none of the variables were significant contributors to the resilience score. Among parents of neurotypical children, civil status was significant, while household support and grandparent’s involvement were non significant. Moreover, there was no significant difference in resilience between the parents of neurotypical children sample and the parents of the autistic children sample. There might have been an effect which could not be perceived, since the sample sizes were unequal at different categories of the variables. For example, most people were married, did not have household support, and did not have the grandparents involved. Nevertheless, this study can be used as a baseline for future research addressing parental resilience in the context of child autism. Keywords: Resilience, civil status, househelp, grandparent’s role
