| Abstract (English): |
We present a historical account of autism in Peru. Currently, the term "autism spectrum conditions", from the neurodiversity paradigm, is used to describe neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by persistent difficulties in communication, social interaction, and restricted and repetitive behaviors and interests. In Peru, the scientific study of nervous and mental diseases began around 1920 and despite the fact that the diagnosis of "childhood autism" was proposed in 1959, it only began to spread in the 1980s. Although significant advances were made in the 21st century, Peru still faces many challenges in addressing autism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |

Presentamos un recuento histórico del autismo en el Perú. Actualmente, desde el paradigma de la neurodiversidad, se utiliza el término «condiciones del espectro autista» para describir alteraciones del neurodesarrollo caracterizadas por dificultades persistentes en la comunicación, la interacción social y comportamientos e intereses restringidos y repetitivos. En Perú, el estudio científico de las enfermedades nerviosas y mentales comenzó alrededor de 1920, y aunque el diagnóstico de «autismo infantil» se planteó en 1959, comenzó a extenderse recién en la década de 1980. Si bien en el siglo XXI se presentaron avances significativos, Perú todavía enfrenta muchos retos en el abordaje del autismo. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
