Chapter Highlights
- The purpose of this study is to identify Filipino parents’ recurring emotions and grieving experiences that trigger it while raising a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The researcher also described various coping mechanisms used by these parents.
- The study involved parents who had a child with ASD whose age ranged from 12-18 years old from selected private schools and centers in Metro Manila, Philippines.
- This study employed a phenomenological approach and used Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis to explore and understand the meanings of the experiences of the participants.
- Three themes with sub-themes arose: Initial Diagnosis, Grieving Experiences, and Progressive Acceptance.
- Different recurring emotions were identified: These were triggered by events and challenges that were under the Grieving Experiences theme. The events that triggered recurring emotions identified had three sub-themes.
- The challenges identified had four sub-themes. Under Progressive Acceptance are the different coping mechanisms used by the participants to cope with their situation.
- This research described the cyclical grieving of Filipino parents. As their child grows and matures, frequency of events and challenges that triggers grieving emotions and intensity of felt emotions decrease.
