| Description | The prevalence of autism spectrum disorders is increasing and this diagnosis is becoming one of the key topics of special education and other professional professions such as paediatrics or pediatric neurology. What, as special education specialists, are we aware of what autistic spectrum disorders entail and what are their diagnostic and therapy options? And what about the pediatricians who are considered to be key persons for early ASD screening? Have some myths about autism still circulated in lay and sometimes professional debate? In this paper, we will consider how awareness of autism spectrum disorders in the Czech Republic looks and summarize the main difficulties that currently accompany special pedagogical intervention in this area. We will also look at where the special pedagogical approach to ASD and the perception of autism have generally come from the time when this topic in the Czech Republic has just begun to pay attention. Applied behavioral analysis, which is considered to be the first choice intervention in ASD in many countries, will also be presented. |
