Resumo: Autism is a disorder whose severity and chronicity imply in a higher demand for care. Therefore, the family is required to engage and adapt to emerging needs. The present article addresses, through a non-systematic literature review, the impact of an autistic member on the family, as well as autism implications to family functioning. Recently published books and scientific papers were used as sources in this research work. The results show that the impact of autism on family functioning is influenced by the severity of the disorder, the parents’ personality traits, as well as the availability of social support networks. Social support and parent training programs represent alternative actions for the development of coping strategies to be adopted by parents faced with autism.Key words: autism, family, coping.

Diante disto, a família é convocada a se mobilizar e se adaptar às necessidades emergentes. O presente artigo aborda, por meio de uma revisão de literatura não sistemática, o impacto da presença de um membro com Autismo na família, bem como suas implicações para o funcionamento familiar. As fontes de pesquisa utilizadas foram livros e artigos científicos atuais. Os resultados sugerem que o impacto do autismo sobre o funcionamento familiar é influenciado pela gravidade da manifestação do transtorno, pelas características de personalidade dos pais, bem como pela disponibilidade de redes de apoio social. Suporte social e programas de treinamento de pais se constituem, desta forma, em alternativas para o desenvolvimento de estratégias de enfrentamento (coping) dos pais diante do autismo.Palavras-chave: autismo, família, enfrentamento.Unisinos2012-12-14info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/contextosclinicos/article/view/ctc.2012.52.0710.4013/ctc.2012.52.07Contextos Clínicos; v. 5 n. 2 (2012): Jul-Dez; 133-1421983-3482reponame:Contextos Clínicosinstname:Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS)instacron:Unisinosporhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/contextosclinicos/article/view/ctc.2012.52.07/1212Andrade, Aline Abreu eTeodoro, Maycoln Leôni Martinsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2012-12-19T14:54:48Zoai:ojs2.revistas.unisinos.br:article/2389Revistahttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/contextosclinicosPUBhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/contextosclinicos/oaidfalcke@unisinos.br||periodicos@unisinos.br1983-34821983-3482opendoar:2012-12-19T14:54:48Contextos Clínicos - Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS)false
