Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To develop clinical and social models and management routes for patients with autism spectrum disorders (ASD).

MATERIAL AND METHODS: A clinical follow-up study was performed for 254 patients, aged 4-17 years (average age 7.3 years), who represented the main forms of ASD. Psychopathological, clinical-follow-up, psychological and statistical methods were used.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Five management models for patients with different forms of ASD are described; differentiation of routes for interagency monitoring of patients is proposed. The effectiveness of the integrated use of drug and non-drug therapeutic approaches for the management of patients with ASD in the clinical-age aspect is shown. Timely diagnosis of ASD makes it possible to develop differentiated routes of patient management within the framework of interdepartmental interaction and achieve positive results in the clinical and age aspect.
