abstract = {Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may affect all spheres of a child's life.
Indeed, parents and siblings also live with emotional instabilities in
the family. The experience of parents with ASD child can be distressing
since they need to make more adjustments to the demanding need to cope
with their life situations. Perhaps, their life is drastically
exaggerated with their complexities of life. Particularly, their social
life is radically affected. The presence of pervasive and severe
deficits in children with ASD isolates these parents from their social
life; demanding adjustments to their social environment of parents in
their life situations shove them into distress and unstable emotions.
Finally, they culminate being shattered in their interpersonal
relationship, their family and social life. Indeed, these aspects of
distress mask social intelligence of these parents, thus narrow down
their focus more on the treatment rather than holistic management of
their child. Thus, the management of ASD with these parents of the
deficit children to reach their fullest abilities remains doubtful.
Therefore, the objectives of this study are as follows: (a) to examine
the impact of emotionality on social intelligence of parents blessed
with autistic child, (b) to develop awareness regarding social
intelligence and its significance among these parents, (c) to propose a
new model stabilising emotionality of these parents through developing
social adaption skills and (d) to suggest a new model as a guide in the
current intervention regimens to ensure the emotional well-being and
better social adoption. This study is made based on the keenly examined
past evidence with the correlation of emotionality and its impact on
social intelligence of the parents with ASD children. The results reveal
that the social intelligence is perceived as lowered evidenced by poor
social adjustment reflected in social isolation observed in the parents
of children with ASD. A new model proposed for stabilising and
developing awareness of social intelligence among the parents of ASD
children. Integrating this model with the existing treatment paradigm
has been suggested to attain the better result. The conclusion is drawn
in this study by analysing the fact that considerable improvement in the
diagnosed child may not amend the parent and family distress and
drastically affect social intelligence. Indeed, the intervention can be
more promising with the healthy personality of parents, where their
multiple aspects of intelligence are not affected. The new proposed
model of intervention can pave the way for further research in this
regard.},
