  2. I. Introduction • The objective of this paper • The present paper tries to compile information about the autistic profiles with the clinical diagnosis elements, their available treatments and the therapy issues encountered in the case of institutionalised children.

  3. Hystory of Autism • 1911-Eugen Bleuler-Swiss psychiatrist -term applied to adult schizophrenia. • In 1943 Dr. Leo Kanner of Johns Hopkins University described autism for the first time. • 11 children observed between 1938 and 1943 • During the 1940's through the 60's the medical community felt that children who had autism where schizophrenic. This lack of understanding of the disorder lead many parents to believe that they were at fault • During the 1960's people began to understand autism and more precisely identify autism symptoms and treatments.

  4. II. General information. Prevelance • A form of child schizophrenia • Autism is a neurobiologic disorder with a strong genetic factor and possibly some biologic markers involving brain structure and brain function. Universally, there is a considerable discrepancy between a person’s cognitive potential (ie, IQ) and their ability to meet the demands of everyday life (or adaptive skills). A similar condition described in this work is the Asperger syndrome, classified as one of the Autistic spectrum disorders.

  5. III. Autism profile • 1. Diagnosis criteria • The diagnosis is entirely behavioral and it is made through clinical examination of a child’s history and current presentation in the areas of social, communicative, and play/imagination behaviors.

  6. IV. Treatment possibilities • 1. Antipsychotic medications active on “negative” symptoms of schizophrenia

  7. 2. Auxiliary non-pharmacological methods of treatment-psychological therapies
