The study aimed to define patents' satisfaction level about assistive services provided for their children with autism spectrum disorder. Another objective was to identify differences in the patents' satisfaction level about assistive services provided for their children with autism spectrum disorder according to income level, gender, educational level, residence, and family members. A descriptive design was employed. The study sample consisted of (139) parents of children with autism spectrum disorder at special education centers in central and north governorates of Jordan. To achieve the study objectives, a questionnaire measuring parents' satisfaction level of assistive services developed by the researcher was used. The study results showed that the satisfaction level of the autism spectrum disorder children's patents on the assistive services provided to their children was high. The study showed that there were statistically significant differences in the level of the autism spectrum disorder children's patents about the assistive services provided to their children due to income level, in favor of lesser income families (less than 350 JD) and those in the family income group (350 JD- less than 600 JD) compared to higher income (more than 600 JD). No statistically significant differences were found in the level of the autism spectrum disorder children's patents on the assistive services provided to their children due to gender, educational level, residence, and family members.
