Abstract
This study explored the emotional and financial challenges faced by fathers in Malaysia when raising and managing children with autism. This qualitative study adopted a phenomenological research design and involved a total of seven fathers in Kedah, Malaysia. The sampling method used in this study was purposive sampling. This study used the interview method entirely as the data collection approach. Meanwhile, semi-structured interviews were conducted to obtain data from participants. The results showed that the fathers of children with autism faced numerous emotional and financial challenges in handling children with special needs. The findings provide more direction and insights for future research to study and explore various aspects of parenting children or individuals with autism. The outcomes also make it necessary for the relevant authorities to enhance the facilities and provision for better management of these children.
