Abstract

There is an increasing in the prevalence of children with autism spectrum disorders every year. The major barriers of children with autism spectrum disorder are social interaction, communication and behaviour (triad of impairments). Children with autism spectrum disorders can be identified before the age of 30 months or 36 months. This diagnose can make the stress for some families, because they're different from the typically children and very unique. The impact of stress on the family as a result of the presence of child with autism spectrum disorders can happen to the family both internally and externally. Kathy Labos (2005) states that the internal stress can be divided into stress in the parents; stress in siblings; marital stress; and financial stress. Stress on the parents are guilty feeling and the fear. Guilty feeling has a high contribution to make stress on the family, especially for the parents, and the fear also can be a cause of stress for the parents which is have a high contribution after guilty feeling. This stress will cause an imbalance in the family is no harmony, and make the vulnerability in the family, uncomfortable and unsafe feeling. The family-based interventions are an alternative intervention to develop interaction and communication skills for children with autism spectrum disorders. This is because a conducive family will have a good impact for the development of children with autism spectrum disorders.
