Autism is a developmental disorder of multicausal etiology that is characterized by qualitative damage of social interactions, qualitative communication damage and limited repetitive and stereotypical patterns of behavior, interest, and activity. It is believed that autistic people have great difficulty in applying the theory of mind with regard to the level of intelligence expected in other areas. In addition, they have many symptoms of weak sensory processing. Because of the difference in neurology among autistic persons, their attempts to communicate were often unrecognized. The Son-Rise Program is an approach to autism aimed at the development of social interaction, and is described in more detail in the paper. Parents of autistic children show greater levels of stress than the children of typical development children and children with other developmental difficulties. Due to this, the care of the good mental state of the parent and the learning of specific skills must be an important factor in intervention programs for the child. Furthermore, social interpretations of differences in the behavior of autistic persons may fail to understand the intentions and meanings that the person with autism tries to communicate with when interacting. In order to better understand autism, it is necessary to take into account descriptions of people with autism who inform the public about their experiences as well as people with similar sensomotor problems.
