Across Europe, there is increased awareness of the frequency and importance of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), which is now recognised not only as a childhood disorder but as a heterogeneous, neurodevelopmental condition that persists throughout life. Services for individuals with autism and their families vary widely, but in most European countries, provision is limited. In 2018, European Society of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (ESCAP) identified the need for a Practice Guidance document that would help to improve knowledge and practice, especially for individuals in underserviced areas. The present document, prepared by the ASD Working Party and endorsed by the ESCAP Board on October 3, 2019, summarises current information on autism and focuses on ways of detecting, diagnosing, and treating this condition.
在欧洲，人们越来越意识到自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的频率和重要性，现在不仅认识到它是一种儿童疾病，而且是一种贯穿一生的异质神经发育障碍。为自闭症患者及其家庭提供的服务差异很大，但在大多数欧洲国家，服务提供都很有限。2018 年，欧洲儿童和青少年精神病学学会（ESCAP）确定需要一份实践指南文件，以帮助提高知识和实践水平，特别是为服务不足地区的个人提供帮助。本文件由自闭症工作组编写，并于 2019 年 10 月 3 日由 ESCAP 委员会认可，总结了当前关于自闭症的信息，并重点介绍了发现、诊断和治疗这种疾病的方法。
