Autism is a complex neurobiological disorder that affects social interaction, communication and behavior. Within the spectrum of autism there are several groups of disorders, which have in common that they interfere with social interaction and communication and often follow stereotypical behaviors. The etiology of autism is complex and includes genetic, environmental and neurobiological factors. The epidemiology of autism shows variation in prevalence, but the frequency of this disorder has been increasing over the years, causing increased attention and research in the area. The aim of the work is to describe autism, related research and methods of raising children with autism in the educational group and family. Families of children with autism face many challenges, including emotional stress, financial burden, and access to appropriate services. Families need support and education to better understand their child's needs and to cope with the challenges that arise from autism. It is important to ensure that families have access to resources and professional help to improve the quality of life for children with autism and their families. The paper also presents my own experience of working with a child diagnosed with autism. Autism is a difficult disorder that can be stressful for the family, the educational group and the educators. The education of people who raise a child with autism is essential in the proper approach to the child with autism so that it reaches its full potential and in order to reduce or eliminate the unwanted behaviors that have been involved in children with autism.
