Resilience is an individual's ability to respond in a healthy and productive way when dealing with adversity or trauma, which is very important for controlling the pressures of everyday life. In line with the resilience of parents who have children with special needs, most parents experience shock mixed with feelings of sadness, worry, anxiety, fear and anger when they first hear the diagnosis that their child has autism. One of the factors that influence resilience is self-concept. A positive self-concept will produce high resilience, and vice versa, a negative self-concept will produce low resilience.
