Resumen:
The present report is a critical review of the literature related to the genetic and cognitive factors that influence the aetiology of autism. First, we have made an extensive review of some experimental evidence related to the neuropsychology, genetics and behaviour involved in autism as a psychiatric disorder in childhood. Furthermore, we have made a bibliographic review of the most updated investigations of the X-fragile, serotonine and dopamine markers involved in the cognitive development of the autist child. The data of the aetiological research on autism suggests that this psychiatric disorder is characterized by a cognitive deficit. Moreover, patients with this disorder also avoid the personal interactions as revealed by isolation at social and emotional level. The significance of such a multidisciplinary study is that the medical and therapeutical efforts are necessary for the diagnosis and clinical treatment of the autistic child.
