dc.description.abstractAutism spectrum disorder (ASD) is defined as a complex developmental disorder which involves persistent challenges in social interaction, verbal/non-verbal communication, and restricted/repetitive behaviours. At present, the prevalence of ASD appears to be increasing globally, including in Malaysia. Parents of children with autism can find it difficult to cope and struggle with the demanding situations. This paper describes a case study that explores the perspectives of three mothers of ASD child. Face-to-face semi structured interviews were used to obtain their insights. Data were transcribed and analysed using the thematic analysis method. The interview revealed some challenges in relation to autistic traits which include: (i) one-way communication, (ii) alone, aloof and participate in silence, (iii) sensory issue such as super sensitive hearing, (iv) aggressive behaviour, (v) unique views, (vi) routine based, (vii) attention to details, (viii) obsessions, and (ix) moody and tantrum. The case study also unfolded that there is a need to promote the family capacity to assist mothers in raising their ASD child. Therefore, an appropriate treatment programmes in techniques for managing behavioural problems for mothers as the prime caregiver must be offered so that they are better placed to help their autistic child.en_US
