Abstract
This study developed and evaluated an online Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for Asian parents. Using a randomized controlled group design, we found that the online ACT outperformed both active and passive control in reducing parental stress among parents with ASD children. Psychological inflexibility mediated the treatment effect.
