Nowadays, the concept of autism distances itself from the notion of disease, having been better described later on the basis of observations by scholars of the subject. Only after forty years has autism been categorized as such in the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) - and currently in the edition of DSM V, it is classified as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The earlier a diagnosis and an in- tervention, the greater the chance of this individual to develop their potentialities and be included in the family and in society.
