Stigma surrounding autism plays a significant role in the mental health of family carers of autistic children, often leaving families feeling isolated.

The thematic analysis of the qualitative responses revealed that respondents wished for public awareness to be raised and suggested that education would be the key to this. Respondents also – recommended that parental self-esteem and self-compassion skills should be increased and that they would benefit from ‘ready-made’en_US
