Od wczesnych zwiastunów autyzmu po przywiązanie – rozwój relacji społecznych dzieci ze spektrum autyzmu w kontaktach z bliskimi

Autism is a vast developmental disorder with significant delays and problems in participation in alternate social interactions. Studies show that nearly half of the population with various forms of autism participates in social life, although their profile of emotional and social deficits remains highly diversified. Impairment within a social sphere includes a limited disposition and ability to recognize, to understand and to engage in human contact and interpersonal communication. Parents /guardians are the first observers of disturbing behaviors of a child and the first initiators of building a close relationship with their offspring. Their observations are the determinants of the criteria of early detection of autism spectrum disorders. The biggest problem for parents is the inability of their children with autism to show affection. The goal of this article is to show the development profile of social relationships of young children with autism in contacts with their relatives and the analysis of conditions in the child – parent attachment relationship in this group of disorders.
