What does compassion look like when my child communicates in a different way?

The focus here is parents’ own descriptions of compassionate parenting across two countries.

Who was studied?

Parents of autistic children in the Netherlands and United Kingdom

Age / stage: Parents of autistic children

Read with three questions

  1. How did the authors investigate parents’ own descriptions of compassionate parenting across two countries?
  2. Which themes are supported by the participants’ own accounts and which are the researchers’ interpretations?
  3. Which meanings of compassionate parenting recurred across countries and which were context specific?

Keep the limits in view

Interview themes capture participating parents’ accounts in two countries. They do not establish the frequency of a view among all parents of autistic children.
