Moreover, these families experience intense stress, guilt, and shame. Present paper highlights the major challenges and difficulties which are faced by the families of children with autism disorder, such as stress, parenting problems, siblings’ problems, financial problems, and marital conflicts, and finally presents several strategies for the management of mentioned problems.
