description Objective: to understand the experience of grief that mothers experience when receiving the diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in their child and whether the context of the COVID pandemic affects this experience in some way. Methodology: qualitative phenomenological design. The participants in this research were three mothers of children diagnosed with ASD. The strategy that was used to produce the data to be analyzed was the semi-structured interview, which was analyzed and coded. Results: for two of the three mothers interviewed, ASD did not mean an illness or a disability, but a condition and a way of life; being something they would not change in their children. In contrast, mother three does perceive it as an illness. Conclusion: it was possible to conclude that the arrival of a child with ASD, as well as any other condition that escapes the idea of what is understood as normal, constitutes a mourning for the dreams, hopes and expectations that arise along with the wait of a child and who are frustrated by the diagnosis.

Objetivo: conocer la experiencia de duelo que viven las madres al recibir el diagnóstico de Trastorno del Espectro Autista (TEA) en su hijo y si el contexto de pandemia por COVID afecta de alguna manera esta experiencia. Metodología: diseño cualitativo fenomenológico. Los participantes de esta investigación fueron tres madres de hijos diagnosticados con TEA. La estrategia que se ocupó para producir los datos a analizar fue la entrevista semiestructurada, que se analizaron y codificaron. Resultados: para dos de las tres madres entrevistadas el TEA no significó una enfermedad ni una discapacidad, sino una condición y una forma de vida; siendo algo que no cambiarían en sus hijos. En contraposición, la madre tres sí lo percibe como una enfermedad.  Conclusión: se pudo concluir que la llegada de un hijo con TEA, así como con cualquier otra condición que escape a la idea de lo que se entiende por normal, constituye un duelo por los sueños, ilusiones y expectativas que se gestan junto a la espera de un hijo y que se ven frustradas ante el diagnóstico.
