Summary/Abstract: The study investigates the relationship between coping mechanisms (problem-focused, emotion-focused, and avoidant) and perceived social support among parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in Romania. This research employs a cross-sectional, quantitative, online design and will collect data on coping strategies, levels of perceived support, sociodemographic characteristics, and indicators of parental well-being. Planned analyses include descriptive statistics, reliability (Cronbach’s alpha), correlations, multiple regression analyses, and mediation/moderation tests. The findings will contribute to informing psychosocial interventions and support programs for families.
