Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental
disorder with multidimensional involvement, characterized
by decreased social interaction with deficiencies in communication
through verbal and nonverbal language and
inflexibility in behavior by presenting repetitive behaviors
and restricted interests. Its etiopathogenesis and related risk
factors are increasingly being better studied. This is a frequent
clinical entity. Approximately 1 in 160 children have some degree
of autism globally. However, it is rarely diagnosed, being
identified until the appearance of its comorbidity with other
psychiatric disorders such as anxiety or depression. Currently,
there is no specific treatment for the nuclear symptoms of
autism, however, there are different therapeutic and pharmacological
options that improve the quality of life of its carriers.
