Abstract

Objective: To follow up and monitor the patient with autism to determine to what extent early detection and treatment can influence the patient's outcome and quality of life. Methods: Case report. Results and Conclusions: Early diagnosis, consistent therapy and treatment have made a difference, although autism persists; the most severe symptomatologies have been attenuated and the level of autism has been reduced. Speech, psychological and behavioral therapies have been maintained over time generating an encouraging prognosis so far and concluding that, despite there is no specific or curative treatment, if there is early intervention, the pathology is greatly attenuated in most cases; improving their quality of life.
