Abstract

Dr. Elsa Gutiérrez Baró (1926-2019), professor emeritus of the University of Medical Sciences of Havana, contacted us, to raise a problem of child-youth mental health that worries her in the highest degree. In recent times, he is seeing in consultation - with relative frequency - children and adolescents, who have been diagnosed with autism, because the clinical picture they present evokes the presence of this genetic cause condition. However, autism - as a nosographic entity - has nothing to do with the origin of the symptoms that these patients suffer.
