Abstract: Background: Information and training build relationships especially with families living with autistic children. To keep and manage autistic children, autistic parents need to be equipped with certain training on how to deal with, cope, relate and contribute to the childrens social life by understanding and integrating their behaviour. Therefore, this study investigates autism knowledge, attitude, and coping strategies employed by the parents of autistic children at Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Yaba, Lagos. Nigeria
