Abstract
An integrative literature review is presented on autism spectrum disorder (ASD), its clinical and epidemiological aspects, as well as the impact of this condition on family dynamics. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurological condition that affects development, impacting communication, social interaction and repetitive behaviors. Symptoms vary widely, but generally include difficulties in verbal and non-verbal communication, difficulties in social interaction, restricted interests and repetitive behaviors. Diagnostic criteria are used to define the condition, which can coexist with other comorbidities. There is a need for a multidisciplinary team to intervene in the improvement and quality of life of patients, as well as treatment aimed at the various aspects that this disorder presents, such as developmental, language and communication disorders.
