Abstract: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has recently drawn much attention in Bangladesh. It is considered one of the most rapidly emerging developmental disorders. In Bangladesh, the educational infrastructure for children with ASD has expanded, but the quality and effectiveness of these services remain uncertain. The study explores the experiences of parents regarding the special schooling of their children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) within the socioeconomic and cultural contexts of Bangladesh. A qualitative research design was adopted, involving in-depth interviews with 22 parents from four special schools. Purposive sampling ensured diverse socioeconomic and cultural representation. The findings reveal significant gaps in facilities, communication, curriculum adaptation, and teacher training. This study offers recommendations for improving special education services in Bangladesh, highlighting the need for a comprehensive approach that includes parental involvement and policy support.
