Resumen
[ES] Trastorno del Espectro Autista no afecta solo de manera individual al niño o a la niña que lo padece, sino que
afecta también a nivel familiar. La necesidad de ayudar a los padres que tienen que aceptar y afrontar el
diagnóstico de un hijo con TEA debería ser clave para conseguir el bienestar de ese niño. Padres que tienen
que romper con las expectativas generadas en torno a su hijo/a y asimilar que nada va a ser lo que ellos
esperaban o imaginaban. La Terapia de Aceptación y Compromiso (ACT) ha sido una de las Terapias de
Tercera Generación que mayor atención ha recibido en las últimas décadas. La ACT pone un mayor énfasis
en la aceptación como estrategia de intervención y en eliminar la inflexibilidad psicológica. En el presente
trabajo se realizó una revisión narrativa con el objetivo de revisar la evidencia acerca de la aplicación de
ACT a padres y madres con hijos/as autistas.

Parents who have to break with the expectations generated around their child and assimilate that nothing is going to be what they expected or imagined. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) has been one of the Third Generation Therapies that has received the most attention in recent decades. The ACT places greater emphasis on acceptance as an intervention strategy and on eliminating psychological inflexibility.
