Abstract

The increasing number of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) children requires more attention from all parties. ASD treatment has massive impact on the quality of life for them and their families. Researchers interacted with clients and families and were directly involved in services at the Research and Development Laboratory for Children with Special Needs in Surabaya. The analysis was carried out on 33 family data of ASD children who visited the Laboratory for Children with Special Needs in 2019. The results showed that 1) Parental monitoring of children's growth and development was still lacking, 2) Parental responsiveness was still weak in the early detection of ASD cases, and 3) Responsiveness of parents to access ASD’s services was shown by the following phenomena; a) most parents brought their children to assessment or diagnostic services for the first time when they were more than three years old, b) there was a shopping diagnostic phenomenon and shopping for autism therapy. In conclusion, parents’ response to early detection of ASD children was still lacking. Recommendations, it is necessary to socialize to provide training by related parties to each parent about the importance of monitoring child development, stimulation, and early detection of children with autism.
