However, the mechanism of action and the self-esteem status of Chinese ASD caregivers have not been revealed. This study was designed to examine the potential paths among self-esteem, social support, and depression. In addition, we examined the self-esteem status of ASD caregivers in China. Methods A total of 6120 participants were recruited via an online survey in China in this cross-sectional study. Caregivers younger than 60 years old and with an autistic child/children aged between 0 and 18 years were eligible for the study. The Sobel-Goodman mediation (SGM) test was performed to investigate the mediating effect of self-esteem between social support and depression. Results The indirect effect was statistically significant (? = ?0.128, p = 0.049). The proportion of the total effect mediated by self-esteem was 24.6 %. Low self-esteem was observed in 60.64 % of the study participants, and 55.51 b% scored high in depression. A large percentage of study participants scored high in depression (56.89 %) and scored low in self-esteem (61.30 %) when not receiving any social support. Conclusion The findings suggest a significant mediating effect of self-esteem on the association between social support and depression, indicating that receiving more social support decreases the depression level by increasing the ASD caregivers' self-esteem.
