Abstract

This conceptual paper illustrates the issues, aims and significance of the ongoing study on the mental health of parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) during the COVID-19 Pandemic and the role of digital technology that helps sustain well-being among parents of children with ASD. The recent COVID-19 situation lockdown and social distancing were reported to have intensified the behavioural effects on ASD children and further deteriorated the parents' mental health. Therefore, seeking related information and sharing experiences amongst parents of ASD's children is crucial to sustaining the parent's mental health.
