[Autism spectrum disorders, a pilot parent-child unit]

Abstract

Today, it is possible to work on the developmental trajectory of autism spectrum disorders. Due to brain plasticity, the earlier the treatment, the greater the benefits. A pilot unit has been created in a day hospital, offering a quick and intensive approach, between 18 and 36 months, focused on parental skills.
