Abstract

The purpose of this work, is to recover some keys of the investigation that I made in the Faculty of Social Work at the National University of Entre Rios. It was directed by the Magister in Social Work María Alfonsina Angelino and had as object of study “The configuration of the daily life in families with kids that has been diagnostic with generalized disorder of developing or autism spectrum disorder”. The selection of this diagnoses respond to a current situation: its massification and irruption in childhood. This work aimed to discover and analyze the ruptures and continuities that manifested in the daily life of the family after their child’s diagnosis. In order to achieve this objective, I conducted a qualitative research that allowed me to analyze and interpret three in-depth interviews with mothers of children diagnosed with TGD and / or ASD, informal talks within the TGD Group Parents Santa Fe and meetings attendance and observations. The hypothesis held was that the daily life of families was modified once given the diagnosis, becoming structured, regulated and therapeutic This was evidenced throughout the course of this work and I could also notice the new daily practices that began to be part of the family in order to respond to the treatments that their children need.
