The present study reflected the process of parents' acceptance of their child's ASD. This research topic was selected based upon its capacity to fill a gap in current literature. Though contemporary research had examined various aspects of parents' acceptance, at the onset of this study no known research had examined acceptance as a total process of experiences. To satisfy this void, the present study used a constructivist grounded theory research design in order to answer the question, how do American parents experience the process of acceptance of their child's autism spectrum disorder? The population of interest was American parents of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Participants were recruited until data saturation was reached. The final sample included eight participants consisting of seven mothers and one father residing in the Northeastern United States. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with each participant via Skype. The interview transcripts and adjoining fieldnotes were individually and collectively analyzed using initial coding, focused coding, and theoretical coding tactics which resulted in the development of seven distinct categories; the realization of their child's atypical development, denial and doubt versus validation and relief upon receiving the diagnosis, getting answers and forward planning, taking the time to process, reconfiguring expectations and the celebration of their child's progress, relying on proximal and distal support, and concerns and hopes regarding the future. Memos were used to contemplate the most logical patterns and relationships between these categories which resulted in the final theoretical matrix. Ultimately, this research study produced an acceptance process that was iterative in nature. Beginning with the initial recognition of a child's atypicality, parents progressed through a series of experiences, though not exclusively sequentially, that both fortified and challenged their acceptance. This process was deemed to be ongoing and subject to changing contextual circumstances.
