The current study aims to systematically examine the literature and review on factors influencing depression and anxiety in the parents of autistic children. This study reviews 20 studies and synthesizes its findings to examine the psychological impact of parenting children with ASD. It suggests that the parents and caregivers of children with ASD often experience heightened levels of stress, anxiety and depression. Factors that greatly impact the mental health of these parents are severity of autism symptoms in the child, parental self-efficacy, lack of family or social support, comorbid health and behavioural difficulties as well as demographic and socio-economic factors like family income and parental education. The review emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and employing tailored interventions aimed at addressing these challenges.}, keywords = {}, month = {December}, }
