“…Сосредоточенность на текущем моменте и на процессе взаимодействия с ребенком позволяет отвлечься от грустных мыслей и сожалений по поводу существовавшего до рождения и утраченного позитивного образа своей жизни с ребенком. Как доказывают исследования, такого рода руминативное мышление является мощным предиктором депрессии [13]. Чем больше конструктивная активность матери и чем лучше ее эмоциональный контакт с ребенком, тем больше она отвлекается от своих негативных мыслей и прогнозов.…”

The paper considers the birth of a child with disability as a crisis and traumatic situation for parents. It focuses on the importance of cooperative orientation in the upbringing process, both for the child’s mental health and social adaptation and for overcoming the crisis and making post-traumatic personal growth in the parents possible. We present results of the validation of the ‘Parental Support of the Disabled Child’s Subjective Position’ questionnaire aimed at identifying the parent’s attitude to recognise and support the child’s independence and constructive initiative in various activities and provide him with the necessary assistance in his zone of proximal development. The factor structure was tested on a sample of 201 subjects (mothers of children with mental disabilities) aged 25 to 50 years (average age 39.6 years) by means of confirmatory factor analysis. As a result, a version that included one scale of 12 points was substantiated (Cronbach alpha 0.8). Converged validity was assessed on a sample of 107 subjects (mothers of children with disabilities) using the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory by R. Tedeschi and L. Calhoun in the adaptation by M.Sh. Magomed-Eminova and the World Assumptions Scale by R. Janoff-Bulman in the adaptation of O.A. Kravtsova. A positive relationship was found between the indicators of the ‘Parental Support of the Disabled Child’s Subjective Position’ questionnaire and the indicators of the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, as well as with the basic assumptions concerning the benevolence of the world, self worth and the ability to handle emerging problems. It was also revealed that more emotionally stable parents (with low scores on the Beck Depression Inventory) support their child's subjective position more frequently. The findings are illustrated by excerpts from structural interviews with mothers of children with disabilities.

“…In recent years, the authors are increasingly interested in the quality of life of the parents themselves who raise children with ASD [8], marital relationships in such families [9]. Many studies are devoted to the study of the parents' experience of stress [3,4,10]. As this stress acts constantly over a long period of time, so it affects the health of parents and leads to personal deviations.…”

The paper is devoted to the study of the meaning sphere of parents raising children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The relevance of the study is explained by the fact that the birth of a sick child radically changes the family’s life, breaking the existing system of values, life-meaning orientations. The psychological support of such families, providing them with the psychological assistance should begin with the search for new life meanings, the adoption of new values. The article describes the results of a study of changes in the value meaning sphere of parents raising children with serious disabilities. The article contains an analysis of domestic and foreign studies of family psychology, issues of early childhood autism. There are the description of empirical data from the study of changes in the life-meaning orientations of parents after the birth of a child with ASD, presentation of the results of a comparative analysis of life-meaning orientations and values for both group of parents. As a result, possible ways of helping parents raising a child with autistic symptoms were outlined.

“…Испытываемый родителями стресс вызывает у них аффективно-шоковые реакции, депрессии, симптомы эмоционального выгорания, антивитальные переживания и суицидальные мысли [5; 11; 33]. При этом переживаемый родителями стресс может приводить к посттравматическому росту и стать для родителей стимулом к открытию новых ценностей и отношений с миром [26].…”

<p style="text-align: justify;">The growing number of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) draws the attention of researchers to solving the problems of the family of a child with mental developmental disorders. The purpose of the pilot study was to approbate the psychoeducational program for parents raising children with ASD. The pilot study involved 75 families raising children aged 3 to 5 years with clinically verified diagnoses according to ICD-10 (F84.0x – childhood autism and F84.1x – atypical autism). The psychoeducational program was implemented with the children's parents in the form of group thematic seminars. The following methods were used in the study: Diagnosis of Attitudes towards a Child's Illness (DOBR; V.E. Kagan, I.P. Zhuravleva, 1991); Questionnaire-interview for Parents to Determine the Level of Awareness of the Child's Disease (M.V. Ivanov, O.I. Bogacheva, 2019); a Modified Parental Attitude Questionnaire for a Family Raising a Special Child (I.N. Galasyuk, O.V. Mitina, 2017); “Ways of Coping Checklist” R. Lazarus & S. Folkman (in Russian adapted by L.I. Wasserman, B.V. Iovlev, E.R. Isaeva, et al., 2009); a Questionnaire to Determine the Parenting Skills of Parents of Children with Developmental Disabilities (V.V. Tkacheva, 2006). After completing the psychoeducational program, parents of children with ASD became more aware and accepting of the child's illness, and externality decreased. Parents became more aware of the role of various factors that can both cause the disease and exacerbate its course. The strategies aimed at actively solving problems associated with the child's illness and a positive reassessment of the situation have become the leading ways of parents’ coping. Parents have a greater awareness of their own role in the treatment and rehabilitation process and the further mental development of the child. The focus of parents’ attention has shifted from the negative to positive aspects of the current difficult situation, which makes it possible to look at it not only as a hopeless situation, but also as a source of motivation for action.</p>
