Lives of families with autism
KALÍŠKOVÁ, Iveta
The aim of this bachelor's thesis was to find out how a diagnosis of a child with ASD influenced the life of the family. The analysis of the information obtained from the interviews provided a lot of knowledge. At the same time, answers to individual research questions were found, the research questions were focused on the normal day of a family with a child with ASD, changes between partners after obtaining the diagnosis and the extent to which the diagnosis affected the overall life of the family. The research was carried out using a qualitative research strategy, and using the technique of a semi-structured interview with parents of children with autism spectrum disorder. For this type of research, questions were prepared in advance and adjusted during the interview. The research survey was conducted with twelve informants-parents of children with autism spectrum disorder. Thanks to open coding, ten basic categories have been found. It was clear from the interviews that every child with ASD, even while having the same diagnosis, differs from the others in their manifestations. The statements of the mothers intersected mainly in the area of the stereotypical life of the children, but at the same time they agreed on having relieved emotions after the diagnosis. The parents suddenly felt more confident and stopped doubting their alleged failure in parenting. The informants cited wider family relationships and the time-consuming care as major problems. After finding out the diagnosis, certain changes have taken place in the relations between the partners. Although the diagnosis was the cause of the breakdown of the partnership in some families, in others it led to the strengthening and deepening of cooperation between the partners. The elaboration of this topic not only helped me to broaden my view in the field of autism spectrum disorders, but even enriched me with new friendly relationships with families. The research included in the bachelor's thesis can help spread information about autism spectrum disorders and at the same time show parents that they are not alone with this diagnosis.

This thesis focuses on the games of the children with autism spectrum disorder as their most common activity. Furthermore, it describes the particularities and conditions of their games. Some methods of working with these children are mentioned as well, particularly the structured learning method. The goal of the thesis is to highlight the importance of games for the autistic children and to propose several different ways of improving their individual skills required cooperative games. The proposed learning scenarios come out of the structured learning method and they are based on my own experience with preschool children. The thesis suggests that games are a basic need of every child, including those with autism spectrum disorder. Children's games are absolutely irreplaceable because of their significance in the child's development and its process of socialization. However, there are certain constraints and difficulties for the children with autism spectrum disorder when it comes to the development of their individual and social skills. Our goal is to come out with certain measures that would help these children overcome their difficulties and integrate into the intact society.
