Abstract
The existence of an autistic child affects family life, especially parents. With heavy parenting demands, parents experience pressure and may experience stress, anxiety or sadness. The aim of this research is to determine personality dimensions and the relationship between parental anxiety for autistic children in Upt. Autism Service Center in Samarinda City. This research is quantitative correlational with a cross sectional study design approach. The sampling technique uses a total sampling technique. Personality dimensions with HEXACO and anxiety with Cronbach's alpha are the instruments used in this research. Normality test based on Kolmogorov-Smirnov was used for data analysis. Univariate and bivariate analyzes were also used, and SPSS version 26.0 was used to process the data. Results: The level of parental anxiety is quite high, and the impact of this anxiety can cause delays in treatment which causes the child to recover slowly. The anxiety level of parents of autistic children is significantly correlated with personality dimensions. This suggests that parents should be more aware of the fact that their children's anxiety levels can be influenced by their personality traits. Therefore, they must find ways to control and manage these dimensions of their personality to reduce their anxiety levels. Conclusion: Parent's personality and anxiety level greatly impact the child. When the parent's personality and anxiety level are very severe, this will affect the development or healing stage of the child with autism
