abstract = {This qualitative study describes the conflict between work roles and family roles, and recommendations to reduce the work-family conflict from the perspective of working parents of children with Autism in Malaysia. Data were collected personally from 12 respondents via a semi-structured interview. These working parents discussed the work-family conflict that they faced and what kind of needs that can help to overcome the conflicts, as well as if there is any support provided by their employer to reduce work-family conflict. Interview results indicate that balancing work roles and family roles at once is very challenging. It shows that these working parents need a nursery that accepts a child with Autism and support from their employer to lessen their work-family conflict. © 2017 The Authors.},

abstract = {Autism is a behavioural illness categorized based on poor communication skills, lack of social interaction and weird way of playing. As a caregiver and a worker at the same time, 78 per cent of employees sometimes had to take short time off or leave early from work, come to work late, and being absence for a long period of time. Since children with autism needs more health services and attention, working parents are hoping to get better employees benefits from their employers. Mostly, in developed countries such as United States, employee benefits for working parents with autistic children is applicable but the employees benefits provided are very limited and it is based on the organization's benefit policies. This research provides a general review on previous related studies especially the one which is closely related to employee benefits for working parents with autistic children. Thus, this research can contribute to the new knowledge in creating special employee benefits in the workplace for working parents with autistic children globally. © 2014 IEEE.},
