Through this literature review, I set out to identify how the quality of family life is influenced by a diagnosis of autism, and how parents manage to adapt the difficult situation and what coping methods they use in managing this disabling condition that requires long-term intervention and recovery services. I also analyzed the self-perceived stigma of parents of children with autism in the community, as it can influence the mental state of family members, intra and extrafamilial relationships, ultimately influencing the quality of life. The diagnosis of autism causes major changes in family life, parents are often forced to rethink their roles in the family system. Because autism is not characterized by the presence of a distinctive physical sign, it is often the child's behavior that causes stigma from others. Parents are considered unable to take care of them; the child's behavior is often categorized as a lack of education. The existence of such a diagnosis involves long-term available emotional and financial resources, which changes the quality of life of the parties. However, the perception in society about autism spectrum disorders is changing, the fight leading to their acceptance and integration in the concept of neurodiversity, emphasizing their sometimes extraordinary abilities that can be used as important resources in various fields.
