The research conducted qualitative thematic analysis on interviews with parents of autistic children to find recurring themes about communication problems and parent concerns. </em><em>Data was analyzed using Atlas.ti for coding and Ailyze for theme extraction, ensuring a comprehensive exploration of key patterns.</em><em> This recent study indicates that the parents might be anxious as well as emotionally distressed due to communication problems like communication errors and various communication styles. It also shows coping mechanisms that parents employ to deal with these challenges, as well as the effects of these techniques on their mental state. Besides, it also sheds light on such an intricate relationship between the communication problems of autistic children and their parent’s emotional health by presenting insights into the daily life struggles encountered by the families of autistic individuals. The findings bring forward suggestions that are beneficial in improving therapies and assistance to handle the communicative necessities of autistic children together with the emotional health of their parents. This study also contributes to our understanding of the implications of communication gaps of autistic children on family dynamics and the means to strengthen family support systems.</em></p> <p><strong><em>Keywords: </em></strong><em>Autistic Children, Communication Differences, Parental Emotional Distress, Copying Mechanisms, Family Dynamics.</em></p>}, number={01}, journal={`}, author={Mehak Afzal and Javed Iqbal and Areeba Tanveer and Arslan Ali}, year={2025}, month={Jul.}, pages={1635–1643} }
