Autism was first described as the earliest form of schizophrenic psychosis. It is now considered to be a biologically based pervasive neurodevelopmental disorder affecting, from the first days of life, social communication and adjustment to the environment. Advances in the understanding of its clinical, neurofunctional and genetic aspects have progressively modified conceptions and practices for diagnosis, exploration and therapeutics.
