Autism Spectrum Disorders refer to a combination of cognitive, social and emotional deficits. Continuous expansion of autism cases do not correspond to reported figures of efficient treatment through a certain philosophy. Successful cases due to certain treatment been often reported. But there have also been reported cases when the treatment was not followed by any changes. We cannot refer to one successful treatment for all individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders as every person displays a specific combination of the severity of the disorder, difficulties and learning skills. Is it the right time to refer to a multidisciplinary treatment of children with ASDs as long as we can prove that they suffer from a variety of comorbid deficits? This is a qualitative research in the form of a casual comparative study trying to explain: What is the influence of multidisciplinary treatment in the improvement of cognitive, social and emotional skills in children with Autism Spectrum Disorders? A qualitative design was selected for a detailed study of the phenomenon and especially because each autistic individual displays a unique combination of disorders.
