Περίληψη: Why you should read this article: • To be aware of the barriers to seeking support among fathers of autistic children • To recognise the need for tailored support interventions that meet the needs of fathers of autistic children • To learn about a 'walk and talk' support group set up specifically for fathers of autistic children. Providing holistic family support to the parents of autistic children is important in facilitating well-being and positive family relationships. However, there is a need for learning disability services to adapt and consider the support needs of mothers and fathers separately, because activities such as coffee mornings and parent groups may alienate fathers. Instead, informal and less direct activity-based types of support may be more beneficial in creating situations for fathers to interact with their peers. Therefore, a 'walk and talk' group was considered an appropriate intervention in meeting the specific needs of the fathers of autistic children, and was established in Salford, England, in March 2024. Evaluation using the plan-do-study-act (PDSA) cycle revealed the benefits of providing a relaxed space that encourages the natural flow of conversations. The long-term aims of the group are to empower fathers in supporting each other and identifying further supportive interventions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
