Autism is a complex neurobiological disorder, also called  “autism spectrum disorder” (ASD). This means that it affects each person in a particular manner and can be present in a very light to very severe form.  

Autism impacts development in areas related to social interaction and communication skills, and typically lasts throughout their entire life.

Children and adults with autism face particular challenges in order to make sense of the information that reaches them through their senses, organize themselves, understand and use the language to communicate, and to socially relate with other persons. As a consequence, they experience great difficulty in-those different environments, as in their progress with conventional teaching methods.

Albeit autism affects everyone in a different manner, and symptoms vary from one person to another, most people with autism don’t have the same mechanisms for learning as those whose development progresses according to their age; that is, observing and imitating what they hear and see in others, see doing and saying. Hence, these persons must ‘learn to learn’ in order to communicate, behave and play.

With an adequate diagnosis and intervention, the person can achieve the development of skills that will benefit the quality of his life.
