Abstract

This study works to identify the effects of autism on parents, siblings, and teachers. How autism affects a family and its members, how friends react to their autistic friend, neighbor’s perception, and teachers' behavior towards autistic children. After some previous studies, an empirical efficacy framework was created and tested through quantitative techniques. In-depth interview questions were set for conducting a survey with the Parents, Siblings, and Teachers. The results were examined using Cronbach’s α, Pearson's correlation and regression analysis strategies. The study examines the relationship between the impact of autism on parents, siblings, and teachers showing various impact by autistic children through the different phases of his life and with his association with different people in society. The study presents a comprehensive and recent review of the effects of autism. Parents who are the primary caregivers of these children were interviewed about their child's autism detection, access to services, and the impact of their family being affected by autism. The findings of the research can aid practitioners in the autism sector in focusing their efforts on areas that can be taken under observations for the improvement of autistic children as well as society.
