En este artículo se analizan las redes personales de estudiantes universitarios españoles con discapacidad. El propósito fue realizar un análisis de sus redes personales para conocer cómo éstas contribuían al acceso y permanencia en la universidad. Para construir las redes de los estudiantes se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas en profundidad y nos apoyamos en Ucinet y Netdraw para su representación. Los resultados fueron organizados en dos apartados: tamaño y composición de las redes personales e identificación de personas o estructuras que facilitan u obstaculizan las trayectorias universitarias. En las conclusiones se plantea que, para estos estudiantes, contar con redes informales fue fundamental, siendo la familia el principal apoyo.

The article is about the role of the family in the education and formation of children and, especially, in the life and development of autistic children. It describes the problems their family is facing and the need for counseling to parents with autistic children. The reaction to finding the diagnosis of autism varies from one family to another and may encounter a large variety: from disbelief, anger, guilt, helplessness, devastation, surprise, or even rejection of the child, to understanding and relief when finally the parents have an explanation for their child behaviors. Early intervention is important in psychological sustaining of the parent, as parent involvement in the recovery of the child with autism has a determinant role in his development and in ensuring a high quality of life of the child and the life of the hole family. The response to a child's autism diagnosis varies from one family to another. The family goes through a variety of disbelief, anger, guilt, helplessness, devastation, surprise, or even rejection of the child, to understanding and relief. Early intervention is very important in the psychological support of the parent. Because any change disturbs the family equilibrium. A diagnosis of autism changes not only the life of the diagnosed child, but also the life of family members. All the resources are focused on the need of the child. Although each parent is different, after diagnosing the child with autism, all parents are overwhelmed by confusion, shock and denial. Parents' feelings can be influenced by how their children's situation affects different aspects of life - it has an impact on service, on social life and all their personal life. If we look at the family as a system and when a disturbing factor appears, all parts of the system are affected. The involvement of parents in the recovery of the child with autism has a decisive role in its development and in ensuring a high quality of child's life and family life.
