The parental stress scale by Judy O Berry and Warron H Jones was used for the study. The responses were scored according to the manual and the data was analyzed employing appropriate statistical methods using SPSS. The results show that parental stress was high on parents of children with autism than parents with normal children and speech hearing impairment children. Parents of children having autism scored highest mean 48.700 which shows autistic child's parent experience more stress. The results indicate that parent's age is a differentiator on parental stress among parents with normal children.
