description Autism spectrum disorders have adverse effects on family life. Based on this, this research was conducted with the aim of investigating the Effectiveness of Reality Therapy Based on Unconditional Positive Self-Acceptance on the Attitude towards Childbearing in Mothers of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders. The present study was an experiment with a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The statistical population of the research was made up of all mothers of children with autism in Sari City in 2021-2022, from which a sample of 30 people was selected using the available sampling method and randomly divided into two groups (15 people in the experimental group and 15 people were placed in the control group. The people in the experimental group received reality therapy intervention based on unconditional positive acceptance for two months in 8 sessions of 60 minutes. The questionnaire used in this research included Soderberg et al.'s (2013) attitude scale towards fertility and childbearing. The results of the test showed that reality therapy based on unconditional positive self-acceptance has a significant effect on the attitude towards fertility and childbearing of mothers of children with autism spectrum disorders. Based on the findings of the present research, it can be concluded that reality therapy training based on unconditional positive self-acceptance, with the benefit of teaching appropriate methods for accepting reality and making moral and responsible choices, can be used as an efficient method to improve the attitude towards fertility and childbearing.
