Abstract:
Autism spectrum disorder is a neurodevelopmental condition with unique characteristics of perception and neurocognition that begins in childhood and persists into adulthood. It significantly affects social integration and adaptation, and is a great challenge in terms of psychological coping. Intensive genetic and neurobiological research is focused at understanding the brain underpinnings of autism, and it is also at the forefront of pharmacological development. From the point of view of people living with autism spectrum disorder, the quality of help they receive during examination and care, in terms of biological therapies and psychotherapy, is of great importance. Support in the higher education system and legal-financial help are similarly important issue. The purpose of this review article is to provide assistance to professionals working in the psychiatric system in Hungary in order to gain insight and develop their skills in the care of adults lining with autism spectrum disorder.
