Description
Primary carers provide critical supports to autistic children with the effectiveness of such supports relying on the wellbeing of the primary carer. Yet current understandings of wellbeing within autism literature are limited. This mixed methods study examined how primary carers of autistic children conceptualised wellbeing and the factors that influenced wellbeing. The data revealed primary carers conceptualised wellbeing as multidimensional, subjective, and malleable and highlighted their role as active agents. Findings contribute a strength-perspective to the literature and valuably emphasise the need to centralise primary carer wellbeing within policies and systems aimed at optimizing outcomes for autistic children is asserted.
