Abstract

Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is among the most damaging mental health problems in child development. In general, people with autism need language, behavioral, and social skills support to be successful. The present study sought to know the main challenges faced by children with ASD and their families / caregivers, based on the difficulties reported by the families of these children and by the multi-professional team that accompanies them. The results found may support future research aimed at mitigating these needs.
