This thesis aimed to investigate the perceptions of stress and family support in mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder, from two studies. In study one a systematic literature review was conducted from original articles published between the years 2002-2012, through the objectives and main results, which are, trying to identify the factors that generate stress reported in the literature. the research was conducted in two indexing databases: Portal de Periódicos da CAPES and PubMed. In total, 42 articles contemplated the inclusion criteria. Towards to the objectives, 15 articles related maternal stress with child characteristics, 14 with the own mother’s characteristics and just eight emphasized the influence of context. However, five studies have proposed a vision of this phenomenon globally. The study II made it possible a practice research of the issues identified in the literature review, because variables such as stress, burden, child’s autonomy and family support are crucial to understanding the family impact of the ASD in these mothers and other family members. Thirty mothers of children aged three to seven years of age diagnosed with ASD participated of the research through a quantitative and correlational design. The instruments used were: sociodemographic Inventory, Inventory Pediatric Evaluation of Disability, Lipp's Inventory of Stress and Symptom, Inventory of Perceived Family Support and Zarit Burden Interview. The results showed that 70% of mothers have stress, and 80% of the sample feel burdened. The burden of care showed moderate relationships with characteristics of autism as sleep problems, aggression, social isolation, difficulties in self-care, lack of language and repetitive behaviors. Regarding the perception of family support was generally seen as high, with 46% (n = 16) of respondents showing high scores, which means that these mothers feel supported by your family. In general terms , we realize that maternal stress can present itself as effect associated with the child, the context and parent factors , and can be seen as a variable that has implications for the perception of burden on the demands of care required, especially when the perception of family support is considered.
