A presente dissertação teve como objetivo analisar o impacto do autismo na dinâmica familiar, com especial enfoque nos desafios emocionais, sociais e práticos enfrentados pelas famílias com crianças com Perturbação do Espectro do Autismo (PEA). Para esse efeito, foi aplicado um questionário a 92 cuidadores principais, com recurso à Escala de Impacto Familiar – Versão Reduzida, no âmbito de uma metodologia quantitativa e descritiva. Os resultados evidenciam níveis elevados de stress parental, sobrecarga emocional e dificuldades financeiras. O estudo destaca ainda a importância de estratégias de adaptação eficazes, apoio social e intervenções ajustadas às necessidades das famílias. Conclui-se que compreender os impactos do autismo nas famílias é essencial para promover políticas e práticas que melhorem a qualidade de vida familiar.
