The goal of this intervention is to evaluate whether Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can improve psychological well-being among parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in Saudi Arabia. The study focuses on parents aged 18 years and older who are caring for children diagnosed with ASD. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Does ACT reduce affiliate stigma among parents of children with ASD?
* Does ACT reduce cognitive fusion among parents of children with ASD?
* Does ACT improve mindfulness levels among parents of children with ASD?
* Does ACT reduce mental health problems (depression, anxiety, and stress) among parents of children with ASD?
* Does ACT influence perceived social support among parents of children with ASD?
Participants will take part in an ACT-based intervention program and complete questionnaires before and after the intervention. Specifically, participants will:
* Attend structured ACT sessions delivered online over five weeks.
* Complete questionnaires measuring affiliate stigma, cognitive fusion, and mindfulness before the intervention.
* Complete the same questionnaires after the intervention to assess changes.
