Abstract

This article offers an exploratory view about the level of satisfaction on parents with special needs children, in relation with the grant they get from the government, and how the needs of autistic spectrum disorders children are covered. A qualitative method was used. Parents were interviewing to show their opinions. As result, the study proves the improvement of autonomy for handicap children were not achieved with the aid given. Parents are concerned about the difficulty to get family and work duty, but especially they are worried about the future welfare of their offspring. Research reveals different options to improve the law efficiency.
