For this study five mothers whose child was diagnosed with autism were selected for this study. All these mothers were from the ages of twenty one through forty five years old and were head of household and with these finding we could comply with the established purpose. Multiple case studies were this qualitative strategy used for this research. This strategy was chosen for this study because it was very important to hear from the voices of the child's mothers, the process which she had lived through before, during and after the diagnostic autism of their child. There were three interviews conducted and the investigators could corroborate the confidentiality of the data collected using a reflective sheet for this valuated information. The findings were corroborated with the information collected in the literary review. The results obtained from the validated process which these mothers have to go through when one of their children is diagnosed with autism.
