Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the unique experiences of parents with autistic adolescents in India, highlighting the challenges faced during this developmental phase in the context of limited support services.
- Through in-depth interviews, three main themes emerged: a mix of acceptance and grief related to their child's condition, transformational growth resulting from their experiences, and worries about future care due to a lack of systemic support.

This therapeutic process involves collaborative work between patients and MHPs, which improves the condition. Community nurses are uniquely positioned to facilitate this process as they act as the focal point of interaction between patients and the health system.
