The third and last chapter designates the field of social services focused on social services for families with ASD children. The empiric part provides a determined goal of this thesis together with research questions. The thesis used a method of qualitative research within a design of a grounded theory. During the data collection, a method of half-structured interview with parents of ASD children was used. Their answers were processed by a technique of open coding. The research construction results in the information that a predominant part of the respondents is satisfied with used social services. The social services meet individual needs both of the children and their families and they mean a big asset for them. The major difficulty they see is an insufficient amount and lower availability of these social services. Especially the respondents from small towns or villages would appreciate a bigger offer of the social services in the place where they live or a better time availability of already used social services. A great amount of the respondents expressed some concern for their children´s future related to their adulthood, mostly a need of assurance concerning further permanent care, job application and use of social services.
