Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the pandemic on the occupational competence and quality of life of parents of children with autism using a mixed-methods design. It compared 220 parents of children with autism to 300 parents of neurotypical children, utilizing the Occupational Self-Assessment, Short Form 36 Health Survey, and qualitative interviews for data collection. Quantitative results revealed significant differences in occupational competence and quality of life between the two groups. Qualitative interviews underscored changes in parents' professional and social roles, along with reductions in self-care, productivity, and recreational activities, particularly affecting parents of children with autism.
