[Problem of adaptation of patients with the syndrome of early childhood autism]

Sixty-seven children with early childhood autism received therapeutic and corrective treatment in a day-time clinic. In 37 cases socialization of children proved possible, and following treatment, they were transferred to specialized, logopedic, and general kindergartens and schools. The authors advocate the advisability of setting up day-time clinics in the framework of childhood psychiatric hospitals and of organization of separate groups for children with early childhood autism in the framework of specialized kindergartens.
