Os direitos de crianças e adolescentes com Transtorno do Espectro Autista – nível I: aportes para o exercício profissional de assistentes sociais

Abstract

Autistic Spectrum Disorder is not a disease, it is a global developmental disorder that currently includes Asperger's Syndrome in its spectrum, whose classification places it in level I of support, previously called mild autism. Disability in people with autism spectrum disorder level I sometimes goes unnoticed or is confused because people do not appear to have it, which does not annul their rights, but generally leads to violation of these and punishments/punishments, contributing to increased rates of anxiety, depression, and suicide. With the study, based on the assumption that they do not have exclusive public policies for autistic levels 1 support, we sought to understand what legislation and public policies are aimed at children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders with emphasis on level 1 support and how to effective the work of the social assistance professional in the welcoming, attention and psychosocial support necessary to alleviate the suffering of this profile of users. It can be seen that there are generalized public policies for all levels of support, without specificities and that still need to be implemented.
