Abstract

The issue of the burnout of carers of disabled family members has been raising concern for several years. It is essential to identify the signs of suffering in the carer in order to put in place adapted support which will also be beneficial for the person being cared for. Autism, a disability which has a significant impact on the family circle, is an example of a condition for which providing support to carers is essential.

Keywords: aidant; autism; autisme; burnout; carer; famille; family; relation; relationship; soutien; support; épuisement.
