This qualitative design study utilized a single-case method to explore the difficulties and real-life experiences parents of autistic children encounter. It looks at the coping strategies and approaches the parent used to overcome these obstacles, demonstrating extraordinary resilience amid hardships. Using Lazarus and Folkman's Transactional Model of Stress and Coping theory, the study examined and assessed risks, damages, and difficulties (1984). This idea states that interactions or transactions between a person and their environment determine their capacity for coping with and adjusting to difficulties. The research participant is a 32-year-old mother of two children, the oldest of whom has autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The study recorded the mother's unique tales through in-depth interviews with her child who has autism. With the participant's informed consent, the collected data were thematically analyzed to ensure Republic Act No. 10173, generally known as the Data Privacy Act of 2012, was implemented. We sought to identify recurring themes and divergent viewpoints by documenting and assessing these experiences through interviews, contributing fresh perspectives to the corpus of existing information on the topic.
