Publisher's Synopsis
Autism: a subject as vast as it is interesting. As intriguing as it is fascinating. It's not uncommon to hear from people who work in this field on a daily basis that professionals are not trained, and that too few people in France are interested in this cause. Yet many associations are mobilizing every day to make their voices heard, and more and more training organizations are offering specialized courses. So it's hard to believe that France is so far behind when it comes to autism care. The 2013-2017 autism plan, launched following the publication of the 2012 recommendations for good professional practice, has already seen France see the birth of new measures for the care of people with autism spectrum disorders. Methods, which were only used abroad, have appeared in various structures, encouraging professionals to train more to work with this public. Nevertheless, should we base ourselves on these methods alone, or should we look at the knowledge that specialist educators apply when working with this population?
