The prime goal of this study is to investigate the parental perception about anti-social behavior at public place and its effects on daily routine life. Researchers devised a self-made questionnaire with an eye on parents' perceptions of autism's antisocial behavior and the impact it has on their daily routines. There was a section at the beginning of the survey that asked about the respondent's demographics. Parents of autistic children used the survey to verify its validity. The core determination of this exploration was to discover the perception of parents regarding the difficulties faced by parents and also the child who caught with ASD when they are out of their comfort zone (in public places) The findings reported here are based on research conducted as part of the “Parental Perception about Anti-Social Behavior at Public Place and its Effects on Daily Routine Life” project. Major findings of this study is that mostly parents agree that their child having the anti-social behavior like they do weird things such as southing, yelling, screaming, snatching toys from other Childs, feel confused, look someone with fixed attention without any specific reason. In the overall reaction of parent’s shows that they know everything about their uncontrolled child but they just consider it as a behavior problem they are not aware that it is the sign and symptoms of an autism spectrum disorder. For future research it could be recommended that research should be qualitative and interview both parents. This could be done by broadening the sample by including more parents. Gaining more information from both mothers and fathers could provide a better understanding of parent’s perception in Pakistan. Another recommendation is to conduct the study in overall Pakistan to have a better understanding of parent’s perception about autistic child and their difficulties having the child with autism spectrum disorder.
