ABSTRACT

This study presents a qualitative narrative analysis of interviews conducted with 15 parents who have a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This study describes the perceptions of parents of children with regarding the secret that is present in their lives, after reading the children’s book. The theme of secrecy emerged indirectly and it exposed their experience as parents of a child with ASD. The book served as an instrument, on the one hand, while on the other hand, it constituted a medium that reflected the parents’ experience relevant to ASD.
