The purpose of this paper is to review the recent literature on other variables related to family well-being, such as parenting styles. We conducted a systematic review using the PRISMA check list and bias assessment with the aim of analyzing if the concepts of autism, well-being and parenting style are related. We screened 755 references from relevant databases like Scopus, Pubmed, PscyInfo EBSCO, Web of Science and Dialnet, updated on May 2024. Sixteen full text articles and abstracts were read. It was identified that the authoritative parenting style, as well as those based on warmth, establishing relationships and emotional bonding, and low expressed emotion were positively related to family well-being. On the other hand, authoritarian, permissive and overprotective styles, as well as critical, punishing and training-based, were negatively associated with well-being and quality of family life.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ejihpe14060101","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,3]],"date-time":"2024-06-03T12:29:47Z","timestamp":1717417787000},"page":"1527-1542","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Relationship between Parenting Educational Styles and Well-Being in Families with Autistic Children: A Systematic Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-4693-2308","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elena","family":"Benseny Delgado","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departament of Psychology, Sociology and Social Work, Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Campus de Tafira, 35001 Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain"},{"name":"Faculty of Psychology and Speech Therapy, Universidad de La Laguna, Campus de Guajara, 38200 La Laguna, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9168-9920","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wenceslao","family":"Pe\u00f1ate Castro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Psychology, Psychobiology and Methodology, Universidad de La Laguna, Campus de Guajara, 38200 La Laguna, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alicia","family":"D\u00edaz Megolla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Education, Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Campus del Obelisco, 35001 Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"7","DOI":"10.14201\/scero2016474726","article-title":"Prevalencia de los trastornos del espectro autista: Revisi\u00f3n de datos","volume":"47","year":"2016","journal-title":"Siglo Cero"},{"key":"ref_2","unstructured":"Abidin, R.
