Specialists in various fields increasingly not only focus on the children themselves but also examine their families’ situation and functioning. By doing so, they aim to understand the family as a system. Numerous empirical studies have demonstrated that when a baby with a disability is born or when it develops in an abnormal way, this becomes a source of suffering, anxiety, grief, or hostility towards the outside world. Such a situation is viewed as a crisis, a loss, and a process of mourning; working through these experiences is difficult, requires tremendous work, and requires external support in many cases. For these reasons, this paper provides a brief overview of parents’ experiences in the process of diagnosing a child; it cites the literature on the topic and shows the different paths of these experiences.}, doi = {10.4467/20843879PR.22.010.17467}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/psychologia-rozwojowa/artykul/doswiadczenia-emocjonalne-rodzicow-w-procesie-diagnozy-dziecka-ze-spektrum-zaburzen-autystycznych} }
