MANAGEMENT OF THE CHILD WITH EARLY INFANTILE AUTISM

We have reviewed the theoretical orientation, diagnostic criteria and management of early infantile autism at Children's Memorial Hospital. Brief reports of 8 cases were included, primarily to demonstrate the progress that may occur. We believe that many cases of early infantile autism spontaneously and gradually emerge from their difficulties and that the treatment tasks are those of encouraging and removing obstacles from this emergence.
