This study aimed at investigating the economic status, social status, coping styles, personality traits and mental health in the parents of children with autism. This cross-sectional, descriptive-analytic study was carried out among the parents of children with autism spectrum disorder in Tabriz. In 2018-19 school year, ninety parents whose children were diagnosed by a psychiatrist according to DSM.5 criteria were recruited through convenience sampling method. The instruments included NEO Questionnaire, Socioeconomic Status Questionnaire, Coping Styles Questionnaire (Billings and Moos) and SCL-25. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and analysis of variance with SPSS-16 software. The parents had a low socioeconomic status, a moderate degree of mental difficulties, but they were responsible and accountable for their performance. In addition, they had problem-oriented coping styles. The attention of health system policymakers and therapists to economic problems and mental health of such parents is mandatory.
