Abstract

Research described herein is an attempt to answer the following question: What’s communication quality between husband and wife who bring up autistic children? Do couples who rear children with autism differ in this respect from the ones who bring up healthy children and – if so – what’s the nature of such differences? Is there any relationship that links quality of communication between parents bringing up an autistic child and satisfaction they derive from their wedlock? For statistical analyses were qualified data and information given by 50 married couples with healthy children and 53 couples with autistic children. Among families rearing children with autism quality of conjugal communication was worse than the one among families with healthy children nevertheless only women declared such a state of affairs. First of all, differences concerned declaring support and – later – involvement. Among families with autistic children a connection concerning communication between parents and satisfaction they derive from their marriage has been found, too. Basing on results obtained some practical suggestions that concern supporting married couples who bring up children with autism spectrum disorder can be pointed out.
