| Abstract (English): |
This review presents the current state of autism spectrum conditions (ASC) in Peru, including epidemiology, legal framework, education and health services. CEA are characterized by persistent difficulties in communication, social interaction, and restricted and repetitive behaviors and interests. The global prevalence of CEA is around 1%. In Peru, there are no reliable epidemiological studies on the prevalence of CEA. In 2014, the Law for the Protection of People with Autism Spectrum Disorder was approved, which allowed the development of a national plan for the period 2019-2021, which was partially fulfilled. In education, students with CEA were predominantly served in public institutions with guides and resources from the Ministry of Education. Regarding health services, in 2021, 12,325 people with CEA were cared for by the public sector, 78% between 1 and 11 years old. In conclusion, although certain progress has been made to benefit the population with CEA in Peru, there are still problems in access to diagnosis and specialized services. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |

Esta revisión presenta el estado actual de las condiciones del espectro autista (CEA) en Perú, incluyendo epidemiología, marco legal, servicios de educación y salud. Las CEA se caracterizan por dificultades persistentes en la comunicación, la interacción social y comportamientos e intereses restringidos y repetitivos. La prevalencia mundial de las CEA es alrededor del 1%. En Perú, no se cuenta con estudios epidemiolo'gicos confiables sobre la prevalencia de CEA. En 2014 se aprobo' la Ley de Proteccio'n de las Personas con Trastorno del Espectro Autista, que permitió el desarrollo de un plan nacional para el periodo 2019-2021, el cual se cumplió parcialmente. En educación, los estudiantes con CEA fueron atendidos predominantemente en instituciones públicas con guías y recursos del Ministerio de Educación. En cuanto a los servicios de salud, el 2021 se logro' la atencio'n de 12325 personas con CEA desde el sector público, 78% entre 1 y 11 años. En conclusión, si bien se han dado ciertos avances en beneficio de la población con CEA en Perú, aún existen problemas en el acceso al diagnóstico y los servicios especializados.
