Objective: to understand the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic on the health of women who are mothers of autistic children. Method: qualitative study, participant action type, based on the theoretical and methodological assumptions of Paulo Freire. A virtual Culture Circle was held in January 2021. Participants were 12 women mothers of autistic children, members of an association in southern Brazil. Data analysis occurred with the participation of all those involved in the Circle of Culture, according to Freire's Itinerary. Results: women reflected on their physical and mental health; their social role as a mother and wife; and the reconciliation of domestic activities with the formal education of the child. Feelings also emerged: tiredness, discouragement, depression and fear of contracting COVID-19. Conclusion: the pandemic had an impact on the burden of women mothers of autistic children with a decrease in time for self-care and the need to reschedule their work environments and domestic routine.
