Abstract

What we need to understand is that people with autism live in our world, a world they do not fully understand, they are different and therefore we should adopt different approaches to help them turn their weaknesses into their strengths and try to adapt the environment to them rather than expect them to adapt to our environment and for their better integration within society. In order to do this, at the beginning they should be prepared in a protected environment and we should accept autism the way it is. The autistic syndrome is described as the most severe manifestation of the entire spectrum, known as "autism spectrum disorder", which shares the same conditions, but varies in severity and age of start. It is a current problem, not only for our society but also for those around the world, due to its alarming increase in the incidence and prevalence. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the important role that water plays in multisystemic therapy in the multidisciplinary rehabilitation and integration of children with autism into society.
