Η πρόκληση του Αυτισμού για την Οικογένεια και η απαραίτητη στήριξη της

Abstract

Autism is a condition that accompanies the child throughout its life. However, this situation affects the whole family. After the diagnosis, the parents are left alone, unaware of what to do. Due to the cognitive and interpersonal problems that come along, the family is affected in a different way, compared to other forms of disability. At the same time, the interaction between family members and the child with Autism disrupts their relationships, creating tension, conflict that are of no use to anyone and they can be disastrous for both the child and other members of the family. Autism, according to systems theory, should be addressed systematically, centrally, to the child and to the family. . The school, as well as the state, can play an important role in this regard in the field of family counseling and support
