Abstract

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are neurological and developmental disorders characterized by difficulties with social communication and repetitive interests and/or behaviors that begin before age of 3 years. The exact etiology of ASD remains unknown today. According to literature reviews, several factors may predispose to the development of these entities, which, according to scientific publications, can be both genetic and environmental factors. A problematic area remains the timely provision of highly qualified assistance in the management and treatment of such patients [1]. It is important that the child with ASD and his family have the support of a multidisciplinary team to help overcome current situations and problems. The aim of the work: to emphasize the advantages of a multidisciplinary approach in accompanying children with autism spectrum disorders. The authors describe some epidemiological data on autism spectrum disorders using the example of Minsk.
