Highlights
Data reflecting the prevalence of autism for 1966-2019 show a narrowing of the line between people with autism and the healthy population
It is worth noting that African American boys under the age of 3 years are most susceptible to this disease, but autism spectrum disorders are found in all ethnic, racial and socioeconomic groups [5]
In connection with the above, we came to the conclusion that in order to solve the problems of social adaptation of children with autism spectrum disorders, it is necessary to develop a clearly organized set of measures for the interaction of educational institutions and social services that provide comprehensive assistance to the child and his relatives
Summary
Data reflecting the prevalence of autism for 1966-2019 show a narrowing of the line between people with autism and the healthy population. Autism is a developmental disorder that is manifested by qualitative impairments in communication, social interaction, and a tendency to stereotypical behavior. - qualitative disturbances of the ability to communicate; - limited interests, repetitive and stereotyped patterns of behavior and activities Because of their isolation, aggressiveness and profound disturbances in contact with the outside world, children with autism spectrum disorder are one of the most difficult to adapt groups. Aggressiveness and profound disturbances in contact with the outside world, children with autism spectrum disorder are one of the most difficult to adapt groups The consequence of these most pronounced manifestations is the extremely low possibility of adaptation of children to real life. For children with autism spectrum disorders, social adaptation represents specially organized actions and a continuous procedure for getting used to coexistence with the outside world through the assimilation of certain norms and rules [1]
