A)Parents of children with autism report more family problems, more marital problems, more depression, and more social isolation than parents of typically developing children or parents of children who are severely and persistently mentally ill. Family therapy will help them cope with the diagnosis through the problem-solving process. The other responses are important interventions for the child but are not the goal of family therapy.
