Ekas, N.V., Whitman, T.L., Shivers, C. Religiosity, spirituality, and socioemotional functioning in mothers of children with autism. Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 39, 706-719. doi: 10.1007/s10803-008-0673-4
Again, it is important to consider the positive outcomes associated with the way people can better cope and find meaning when working with people with disabilities as a result of religion. In a study of mothers of children with autism and spirituality and religiosity, mothers were found to have greater “life satisfaction, life enjoyment, positive affect, self-esteem, overall well-being, optimism and locus of control” (Ekas, Whitman, & Shivers, 2008. p. 7). Religion positively affects parents of children with autism. This is true of a study conducted in the United States, how is it at Karuna Home in India?
