Theoretical Framework This topic of finding the right intervention method is best described by the family stress theory. There are many things that may cause a family to have stress. As a child’s sole caregiver parents and family aim for the best care that is needed for their autistic child. “However, various studies point out that parents of children with ASD present significantly higher levels of chronic stress than parents of children with typical development” (Cerezuela et al 2018). Researching the different intervention methods that are out there parents or caregivers can fall into a rabbit hole of different methods that are offered for autistic children, which can add to the stress of finding the right care they feel will best help their child. These stress factors may not only lay on the parents or caregivers, it could also impact siblings of the autistic child too. Smith states that, siblings related to autistic children have more difficulty than siblings of typical developmental children in areas of sibling relationship, externalizing behavior problems, and difficulties with psychological and social functioning (2021). The overall family health is what is most important when finding the right intervention method for their autistic child/sibling. Another stress factor that autistic children could face is transitioning into adulthood. If the right intervention methods are not put in place at a young age transitioning into an adult can be even harder for a child diagnosed with autism. Adults with ASD face challenges when entering the workforce and keeping employment (Hedley et. al 2018). Finding and keeping the right intervention method for one’s autistic child/children could help decrease the unemployment rates. It can also help people who are diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder find something they love doing and make it a career.
