Nearly 430,000 people whose more than 100,000 children disorders of autism in France are reached, in Paris one counts 3479 cases of them. Since 2001, several structures were open and developed with 215 open places in places of life and activities, it is envisaged to add 138 additional by 2020 and the “strategy handicap, inclusion and universal accessibility 2017–2021” will allow the creation of platforms of diagnoses of the disorders of the autistic spectrum as of the 18 months age for the best taken in charge of the children.

In 2017, 350,000 euros were resolved to support the 14 projects supported by the city is 25% of the subsidies handicap of the department. Thus the access to the sport, with the leisures and the vacancies, the reception of early childhood, the artistic expression and professional insertion were developed.  Since am the month of December 2017, the exposure of S.O.S Autism France “I autist and then?” is displayed on the frontage of the Town hall “.

The autism is a disorder of the human development characterized by difficulties of the social training and communication, with stereotyped behaviors and persévératifs. These symptoms are often detected by the parents during the first years of life of the child. This disease affects the operation of the brain, the immune system and biological, deteriorates the capacities of recognition of the expressions, the codes social and emotional, generates emotional over–sensitiveness and behavioral problems. To intervene as of more the young age has ide the child autist to develop and gives him all the chances to be integrated into the company.

The procedure to follow to fight against this handicap starts with an early tracking before the 3 years age, to set up educational treatments, to develop research to find treatments and to cure the Autism. In France, a child on hundred is reached of autism; for 10 years, association “To overcome the Autism “has conducted an action against the autism to defend the rights of the children who are affected.

In Ile de France following the initiative of parents, active AeIDF association for 25 years has been resulting from the fusion in 2017 of Autism in Ile de France (created, affiliated in 1989 at the French federation Sesame Autism) and of Autism in Yvelines (exit of the bringing together in 2011 of 2 existing associations since more than 20 years, WILL HELP Yvelines and the Clair Bois, affiliated with the UNAPEI and partner of Autism France). It is specialized in the accompaniment of people reached of autism and disorders of the autistic spectrum (TSA).

An assumption of responsibility of quality, adapted to the age, the capacities and the needs for each one remains still insufficient for the people being able to profit from it. Unfortunately, rare are the answers to the questions of the families discovering that her child is reached of autism but also to become it of this child, knowing that each case calls a clean solution.

The autism understands several categories of disorders of which the syndrome To sprinkle which, contrary to the autism, is not associated with a delay of the development of the language and cognitive functions; the désintégratif disorder of childhood, characterized by 2 to 4 years of normal development followed by the appearance of autistic symptoms; the syndrome of Rett, genetic disease touching only the girls;  the invading disorder of the development. One finds 4 to 5 times more boys than girls among patients reached of autism.

Heredity can also be a factor of development of the autism just like the exposure to certain toxins and pollutants during the foetal development, the weak weight with the birth, the presence of disease in the mother, the difficulties with the childbirth and the age of the parents to the design. Certain symptoms are specific of which incapacity to interact socially or the trend with the repetition in the games and the gestures, the maintenance of a rigorous order, disorders of mood, an absence of fear or fears, irrational, acts of self–mutilation, restricted activities and interests, one short time of the attention, abnormal practices as regards food, of consumption of drinks or sleep, an unexpected reaction to a stimulus (lack of interest or extreme susceptibility). One notices also intestinal disorders and sleep disorders. On the other hand, the subjects have a certain talent for the music or mathematics, etc.

There do not exist means to cure the autism even if one can treat some of the symptoms like aggressiveness or the self–mutilation. Among the existing treatments, most important is the modification of the behavior.
