Abstract:
This article reveals the essence of the concept of autism. The problems of the causes of its origin are touched upon. Since today there is no unified opinion of scientists about the etiology of the appearance of autism. Also, the authors draw attention to the fact that in foreign countries the diagnosis of autism remains unchanged even when children reach the age of majority, and we have children diagnosed with schizophrenia after the age of 18 with autism. This is a problem for children and affects their further life in society. The authors also describe two main techniques aimed at the diagnosis of autism. Based on the diagnoses conducted by the authors, the main ways of solving this problem were identified.
