Keywords:
Autistic disorder/etiology/genetics/classification, Asperger syndrome/epidemiology/genetics.Abstract
Autism is a developmental disorder associated with an abnormal biology and chemistry in the brain which causes are unknown; it is still difficult to find an approach for the diagnosis of this disorder. A literature review was carried out about the genetic and/or environmental etiology and its classification to reach to the diagnosis of autism; the programs of Special Education were presented which are designed to find out the special needs of these children. This work was done by mens of the review of a bibliographic medical database, as this is an unknown topic by the health professionals it is aimed at making possible an accurate and opportune diagnosis, and an appropriate follow up to provide genetic counseling to families having some of their members affected.Downloads
