This paper examines the rights of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and analyzes the role of social workers in providing support to this group and their families. Autism, as a complex neurological disorder, affects the ability of social interaction, communication and behavior and remains present throughout life, and children with autism often face numerous challenges in everyday life. In addition to the above, there are various changes in family dynamics that can have negative consequences on the future functioning of the members, difficulties are encountered in exercising rights and services, and also obstacles to inclusion in educational institutions. In order to better understand the disorder itself, the paper first explained what autism is and what its types and characteristics are, and then what exact impact it leaves on parents, brothers and sisters, given that the family is one of the key factors for the child's development. Furthermore, the rights of children with autism and the international documents guaranteeing these rights are analyzed in detail. The role of social workers is crucial in working with children with autistic disorder precisely because of informing the family about the existing rights and services, but also because of the constant provision of support that is needed in order to solve the existing difficulties. Various researches have confirmed that there are positive and negative aspects of the social welfare system that significantly affect the child's family, which will be explained in more detail in the rest of this paper.
