Abstract
This review study attempts to critically examine the existing qualitative literature relevant to caregivers of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in India. Caregiving for ASD is a unique journey filled with experiences that pose challenges and opportunities; while providing unwavering support and sensitivity for individuals on the spectrum. Qualitative research methods provide avenues to understand this exclusive experience which equips the professionals and policymakers to understand the distinctive needs of the caregivers and elevate their well-being. A database search has been conducted and the selected literature has been reviewed thoroughly. The results are discussed in a narrative style to understand the methodologies used, various hurdles and aspects that can affect their well-being along with recommendations for future exploration.
