Özet

Purpose: When a disabled child joins a family as a new member, various problems may be observed in intrafamily relations and the functioning of the family. Many families with autistic children experience anxiety because they do not know how to behave towards their children or how this will affect heir lives. Parents of children with developmental disorders such as autism may start having self-confidence issues.
