Denna uppsats är genomförd i samarbete med en stödverksamhet som erbjuder insatser enligt Lag om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade (SFS 1993:387) med syfte att beskriva mödrars upplevelse av deras egen funktion som mamma till ett barn med högfungerade autism. Datainsamlingen har skett med tre stycken mödrar genom kvalitativa djupintervjuer med narrativa inslag. Vi har utgått från ett systemteoretiskt perspektiv med inslag av Grounded theory som analysmetod för att undersöka systemiska samband.

Deras situation medför stora påfrestningar på mödrarnas hälsa där de tvingas offra sina karriärer, sitt sociala umgänge och sjukskriver sig på grund av den stressfyllda situationen.
