Abstract
Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) are developmental disorders that can cause a wide range of problems in social interaction, communication, and behavior. The high prevalence of these disorders worldwide, “masking”, the complexity of diagnosis, the ambiguity of the causes of these developmental disorders, the lack of the possibility of providing effective medical care, the growth of disability in the child population necessitate their comprehensive and timely assessment.
The aim of the work is to discuss the need to develop effective screening methods for identifying autism spectrum disorders, implementing programs to help children with this pathology and their parents, which is the basis for effective rehabilitation and improving the prognosis of socialization in these nosologies. The authors describe 1 clinical case of a patient with an autism spectrum disorder, demonstrating the exceptional importance of an integrative assessment of these disorders in child psychiatry.
