          Abstract

          O estudo teve como objetivo compreender como as mães de crianças com autismo vivenciam a maternidade. Participaram da pesquisa quatro mulheres com filhos na faixa etária infantil que apresentam diagnóstico de autismo. Os dados foram obtidos por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas, realizadas individualmente e analisadas conforme a Análise Textual Qualitativa. Os resultados apontam que esta vivência é uma experiência desafiadora. Estas mulheres renunciam à carreira profissional, à vida social e às relações afetivas em prol dos cuidados maternos. Surgem com isso sentimentos como incerteza, tristeza e desamparo. Conclui-se diante disso que é necessário possibilitar a estas mães um espaço onde elas possam ser escutadas, trocar experiências e amenizar suas angústias. Por fim ressalta-se que a psicologia pode funcionar como rede de apoio a estas mulheres e contribuir para a preservação da saúde mental de famílias que possuem um componente com diagnóstico de autismo.

          Translated abstract

          The study aimed at understanding how mothers of children with autism experience motherhood. Participants included four women with children who have autism diagnosis. Data were obtained through semi-structured interviews and analyzed individually as Qualitative Textual Analysis. The results point out that this experience is a challenging experience. These women will not pursue careers, social life and personal relationships in favor of maternal care. Some feelings arise with such uncertainty, sadness and helplessness. We conclude that it is necessary to enable these mothers a space where they can be heard, share experiences and relieve their distress. Finally it is emphasized that psychology can work as a network of support to these women and contribute to the prevention of mental health in families that have a component with a diagnosis of autism.

          Vulnerability and resilience: a study of high-risk adolescents.

          S S Luthar (1991)
          Factors that allow children to maintain socially competent behaviors despite stress were examined among 144 inner-city ninth-grade students with a mean age of 15.3 years. Stress was operationalized by scores on a negative life events scale, and definitions of social competence were based on peer ratings, teacher ratings, and school grades. Moderator variables examined included intelligence, internal locus of control, social skills, ego development, and positive life events. Following theoretical models by Garmezy and Rutter, distinctions were made between compensatory factors (which are directly related to competence) and protective/vulnerability factors (which interact with stress in influencing competence). Ego development was found to be compensatory against stress. Internality and social skills proved to be protective factors, while intelligence and positive events were involved in vulnerability processes. This study also revealed that children labeled as resilient were significantly more depressed and anxious than were competent children from low stress backgrounds.
