Abstract
Relevance. Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are a problem that is not talked too much. It is important to form alertness in pediatricians for early detection of children with "autism".
The aim of the study: to identify symptoms characteristic of children with ASD, as well as concomitant diseases, to increase alertness.
Materials and methods. A survey of 52 parents with children with ASD. Data processing was carried out using the Microsoft Excel program.
Results and conclusions. The first signs of ASD that the district pediatrician should pay attention to are the absence of eye contact, the absence of an index gesture, the absence of speech, stereotypes, alienation, and lack of response to his name. The presence of allergopathology, constipation, a limited diet with a limited drinking regime, combined with a delay in impaired mental function, when manifesting up to 1–2 years is an excuse to show the child to a psychiatrist to exclude ASD.
