Abstract

In the methodological recommendations, it is clarified that the birth and upbringing of a child with ASD leads to the emergence of a complex of negative reactions and experiences in parents, such emotional states, which can be generally characterized as stressful, crisis, with their inherent: emotional depression, depressive tendencies, situational and personal anxiety. The consequences of these conditions are: existential crisis, cognitive disorientation of parents, hidden self-destruction of parents, crisis of their self-identification, loss of life prospects, disharmonious relationships in the family, "escape" of parents to work or self-abnegation as a result of overvaluing the child, social isolation. It was determined that the integrative nature of psycho-emotional states determines their important role in terms of orientation, activity and consistency in actions to help one's own child; their own parental position, as well as their ability to fully realize themselves in the family and society. Focusing on the conceptual substantiation of the modern approach to the development of psychological assistance to families of children with ASD in stressful conditions enables parents to be in positive psycho-emotional states and to manage them, as well as to define and implement their own life scenarios for their children, themselves and the family in general. Methodical recommendations are addressed to specialists of general secondary education institutions with special and inclusive forms of education, educational rehabilitation centers, inclusive resource centers; to students of professional development courses for teaching staff; students of pedagogical specialties; parents of children with ASD.
