Abstract

The tremendous incidence of autism worldwide, but also in Romania, raised questionsconcerning the etiology, early diagnosis and effective therapeutic intervention. Due to the dramaticdeteriorations induced by autism, it is considered a polyhandicap, in most cases of maximum severity.The ASD person is assisted for life, the quality and complexity of this support depending onconjectural social politics. Our range of support services provided (medical, rehabilitation, social) isnot adapted to the special needs of the autistic person and their family. Consequently, academic andsocial integration of children/people with ASD is difficult and most often doomed to failure.
