Abstract	Our research has examined three aspects of effective life management in parents of children with disabilities: strategies parents find helpful for effectively managing life; personal qualities that parents consider important to effective life management; and parent transformational outcomes on personal, relational, and perspectival dimensions. This paper is an examination of the same variables, using questionnaire results for families which have a child with autism, participants in a larger questionnaire survey (Wilgosh, Scorgie, & Fleming, 2000). The purpose was to examine effective life management and important transformational outcomes for these families, all of which have implications for parents of children with autism and the professionals with whom they interact.
