AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS AND A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

Abstract

The social aspects of the problem of helping people with autism are becoming more and more important, relating to various spheres of society and individual families, and every year the number of families in need of help increases. Assistance to children with ASD in Uzbekistan is organized at the state level and is becoming more and more extensive.
In recent years, the prevalence of autistic disorders has increased significantly - from 16 to 56 per 10,000 child population. Without specialized care, up to 95-97% of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) become severely mentally disabled. The vast majority of these children need systematic corrective assistance. Most patients with autism associated with mental retardation require social and educational support throughout their lives (1).
