Autism is a serious development impairment which is characterized by impaired communication and ability to develop relationships with other people, urgent need of permanence and other symptoms that seriously affect the life of an individual and people in their surroundings. The situation of autistic people in the Czech Republic is becoming better and better every year. Although the improvement of the services and care of autistic people is provable it is still impossible to consider the current situation satisfying. The objection of the diploma work was to find out the extent and quality of the comprehensive attitude to children with autistic spectrum impairments and to map the care of these children and their families. The research group consisted of four children with autism diagnosis in cooperation with their families. The research took place in day- and week-centres in Jihlava, while all the respondents used the service of the week-centre. The methodology of the diploma work is based on the principles of the qualitative research. The following methods and techniques of data collection were used in order to achieve the objective: method of participant observation, content analysis of documents, technique of half-controlled discussion and they were gradually completed during the survey. The basic concept of the comprehensive attitude to autistic children and their families is characterized by a purposeful interdisciplinary interconnection of care in the social, heath and educational area. It is logical that such pervasive affection as autism requires cooperation of many specialists of assisting professions and such assistance thus connects different areas of services to people. Facilities providing services in the field of social and educational services and guidance are irreplaceable as far as ensuring a functioning system that guaranties quality of social services, guidance and help to autistic children and their families is concerned. The only possible attitude is a better understanding of the world of the autistic people that differs from our ideas and practices so much. The contribution of my diploma work lies in the possibility to utilize its results in the field of ensuring a quality effective systematic care of children suffering from autism and their families.
