Attitudes and Perceptions of Muslim Parents toward Their Children with Autism: A Systematic Review
Abdullah S. Bernier; Adam W. McCrimmon
Review Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v9 n3 p320-333 2022
This review aimed to synthesize existing information on Muslim parent perceptions and attitudes toward their child(ren) with autism based on their religious beliefs. Eleven peer-reviewed articles were included. Several religious beliefs guided parental perceptions and were subsequently categorized as either positive or mixed attitudes toward their children with autism, which rendered common themes. The results allow for an exploratory examination of cross-cultural similarities and differences as well as common coping approaches engaged in by Muslim parents. Practical implications include enhancing diversity research, practitioner cultural competence, cultural sensitivity, responsive practice, and efficacious practice within the bounds of social justice.
