Abstract This qualitative study explores the lived experiences of seven (7) mothers raising children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in Davao City, Philippines. The research aims to provide a localized understanding of the challenges, triumphs, and coping mechanisms unique to this region. Phenomenology guided the research design. In-depth interviews was conducted using semi-structured interview approach to gather a detailed exploration of each mothers journey. Thematic analysis revealed core statements reflecting the experiences of mothers, including the importance of accepting reality, difficulty in raising child with ASD, and the significance of seeking necessary support. Their coping mechanism for the challenges encountered included developing patience and persistence, acceptance and acquiring education, and seeking help through support systems. Insights from the participants revolved around the essence of unconditional love and acceptance, continuous learning and improvement, and seeking guidance and support. These findings highlight the need for tailored support services and increased awareness to assist mothers in their caregiving journey. Understanding the unique perspectives of these mothers can inform interventions and policies to better support families of children with ASD. It was further recommended to conduct study on long-term outcomes, cultural influences, and the effectiveness of interventions to provide evidence-based guidance for supporting individuals with autism and their families. Through this, the well-being and support systems for families navigating the challenges of raising children with autism will be reinforced.
