Abstract

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by difficulties in social communication and the presence of repetitive and restrictive patterns of behavior (APA, 2013). In recent years, the increase in diagnoses has generated interest in understanding not only its clinical aspects, but also the contextual factors that influence the development and well-being of children with this condition (WHO, 2022). Among these factors, parenting styles are decisive, as parenting practices affect emotional regulation, social skills, and the management of disruptive behaviors (Baumrind, 1991; Darling & Steinberg, 1993). Such behaviors, such as aggression or emotional outbursts, tend to intensify in children with ASD due to difficulties in communication, cognitive flexibility, and emotional self-regulation (Emerson, 2001; Matson et al., 2009). Although most studies are quantitative, qualitative approaches allow for a better understanding of family experiences and dynamics (Hernández-Sampieri & Mendoza, 2018). This qualitative research was based on direct observation of interactions between parents and children with ASD, identifying parenting strategies and behavioral regulation in real contexts. The results show that parenting styles directly influence children's behavior, highlighting the importance of empathetic, structured, and emotionally regulated parenting.

In conclusion, understanding family dynamics in the upbringing of children with ASD allows for the design of more effective interventions that promote their social-emotional development, strengthen family bonds, and contribute to reducing problematic behaviors.
