AbstractBackgroundThe autistic population is growing and ageing and this also applies to the parents. Despite this, research about parental experiences is still relatively scarce. Even though studies show, compared with adults with other disabilities, parents of autistic adolescents and adults report a decrease in well‐being and that caregiving is often a lifelong commitment.MethodThis scoping review maps, synthesises and identifies gaps in previous research as regards the experiences of parental caregivers of adult autistic children. The review was based on Arksey and Malley's framework and six databases were searched.ResultsThe results show how the research has focused on the well‐being and consequences of daily caregiving for an American middle‐class mother who co‐resides with an adult son.ConclusionTo enhance knowledge about formal services and service needs, more research is necessary on different welfare regimes and social contexts.

Background: Recovery research often describes recovery from mental illness as a complex individual process. In this article a social perspective on recovery is developed. Aims: To ascertain which factors people regard as decisive to their own recovery and what makes them beneficial. Methods: In-depth interviews were conducted with 58 persons in Sweden who had recovered from severe mental illness. Interviews were qualitatively analyzed using grounded theory. Results: Three dimensions of contributing recovery factors were identified. Social relationships emerged as the core category throughout these dimensions. Conclusions: The results show that recovery processes are social processes in which social relationships play a key role.

Abstract
Understanding the capacity of child welfare (CW) organisations to deal with child abuse is complex, and dependent on the specific CW context. Sweden occupies a unique position in trying to balance high demands for CW and protection with a strong family support focus, which carries a risk of overlooking children who need protection. Drawing on an understanding of social service organisations as street-level bureaucracies, this article explores discretion in child abuse cases by examining conditions affecting discretion and strategies for investigating child abuse, including police reporting. Thematic analysis of interviews with Swedish supervising social workers showed that staff's conceptions of the CW system influenced the exercise of discretion, leading to different strategies for dealing with child abuse. This resulted in different practices and potentially unequal access to child protection and support, highlighting the wide margin of discretion. This article concludes that the interplay between knowledge and governance is central to equal child protection. This article contributes to the discussion of discretion in CW organisations by underlining the importance of being particularly vigilant about discretion when both children and parents are considered clients, as the child risks being lost as a subject with individual needs and rights.
