This study explored the contribution of personal construct psychology (PCP) and the
repertory grid technique to understanding stress when raising a child diagnosed with autism
spectrum disorder (ASD). Associations between child level of functional impairment,
parenting stress, psychological distress, and maternal construing were examined in mothers
of 25 children diagnosed with ASD. Results suggest that a personal construct perspective
may help delineate factors involved in parent adjustment to ASD.
