The aim of this study was to investigate what kind of support a parent with autism spectrum disorder receives from the municipality and further the purpose was investigate which possibilities and difficulties professionals are experience in their work with these parents. To answer this subject empirical material was collected with a qualitative method in form of four semi-structured interviews. Interviews wore made with four people, with three different positions of employment. To analyse the gathered material the method coding and thematization were used. The empirical material was later analysed using current knowledge in the field and Goffman's theory of stigma.The results showed that the professionals often do have a good picture of what type of difficulties the parents have. They all work to support the parents but they have got different possibilities to do so. Further the results show that most parents with autism spectrum disorder can be satisfying in their role as parent as long as they are given the right amount of support in a longer period of time. There is also signs that knowledge about these parent are varied and that there is some confusion about each others task assignments.
