Family with Child with Autism Spectrum Disorder
DOULOVÁ, Lenka
This bachelor thesis deals with a family with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) child and with possibilities of his/her support in the framework of social services. The aim of the bachelor thesis is to complete theoretical knowledge of a designated topic of the thesis and, on its bases, investigate the possibilities of social services for families with ASD children in the Region of South Bohemia, and to clarify how much these social services fulfil theses families´ individual needs. Furthermore, the thesis focuses on a selection, availability, quantity and quality of social services from the point of view of a family. The thesis is divided into two parts - a theoretical part and an empiric part. The theoretical part is divided into three main chapters. The first chapter deals with a current classification of autism spectrum disorders, it describes their specific etiology and symptomatology. This chapter comprises a classification and characteristics of individual autism spectrum disorders. The second chapter specifies a family with an ASD child and describes their place within the society. 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.

Diagnosis of children with ASD - psychological aspects of diagnosis based on the interviews with parents
Říha, Ivo ; Sotáková, Hana (advisor) ; Viktorová, Ida (referee)
The bachelor thesis about the diagnosis of children with PAS - psychological aspects of the diagnosis making based on interviews with parents, deals with the problems of autism. The theoretical part contains information about PAS, its types and the so called autistic triad. The reader will be informed about the process of accepting the diagnose, about partnership or parentship and last but not least, about the problems one has to face after accepting his diagnose. The empirical part is focused on describing the process of diagnosis of PAS starting with the observation of the child's different behaviour and the necessary examinations, up to making the diagnosis. The thesis examines the skills of the doctors who take part in the diagnosis process and the way the they let the parents know about it. Furthermore, it deals with the changes that occur in a family, a member of which is diagnosed with PAS. It focuses mainly on the mental aspects of mothers dealing with such a severe diagnose of their children and changing their lives drastically. Problems like the unemployment, or social isolation of such mothers after the birth of their stricken children are taken into consideration too. In order to get the information about the experience of such mothers, semistructured interviews were used.
