[Place and role of caregivers of young people with autism spectrum disorders]

Abstract

The question of the place and role of caregivers, most often parents, for children with autism spectrum disorders has undergone significant change in recent years. It is now proven that when a parent acquires knowledge about autism, he is able to interact in a functional way and thus to use more effective educational methods with his child.
