ABSTRACT

In the past 20 years, and particularly in the last decade, the autism has been identified as one of the generalized disorders of the child development. Today, genetic and clinical studies allow to affirm that several genes are involved in the autism. In this communication are revised some of the contributions that characterize this illness and the advances in their diagnosis and treatment.
