Abstract
The integrative review examines the role of family physicians and other primary care professionals in the identification and care of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), emphasizing the importance of continuous education and interdisciplinary collaboration.To analyze the main challenges faced by healthcare professionals in conducting ASD screening in primary care, from the team's perspective. An integrative literature review was conducted, covering studies published from 2013 to 2023. The research was built based on the PICO (Patient, Intervention, Comparison, and Outcomes) strategy and used health descriptors related to ASD. 427 articles were identified, which underwent eligibility criteria. The selected articles were read in full, summarized, and the results were organized in a table.Ten studies were selected that addressed various aspects of ASD care and diagnosis. The results found pointed out the difficulties to be overcome by healthcare professionals so that they feel confident and capable of conducting early screening and diagnosis: the complexities of medical consultations and issues related to healthcare professionals' remuneration and the need for interdisciplinary collaboration.This integrative review identifies the complexity of ASD diagnosis and care and the need for an interdisciplinary and collaborative approach to improve the care of children on the spectrum, emphasizing the need to promote adequate training and support for primary care healthcare professionals to enhance the quality of life for children with ASD and their families.
