Description
Chakurian and Popejoy review what helps family caregivers of autistic adults stay resilient, in a 2024 paper. These caregivers give lifelong care and face chronic stress, stigma, and isolation, yet most past work studied caregivers of children. The review searched ten databases and kept nineteen studies for close reading.
Caregivers fared better when they used problem-focused and meaning-focused coping, had social support, planned for the future, and felt less burden and stigma. The authors argue that support and coping skills are levers that clinics and policy can actually move. They call for sharper definitions and measures so future reviews can compare studies more cleanly.
