摘要：The present contribution discusses the legislation referring to persons diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD). From international documents (The Charter for Persons with Autism, the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities), to national legislation (The Law on Autism, The Methodological Norms for Applying the Law on Autism), we show these are still perfectible. We underline although there is a Romanian legislation for people with ASD, this is insufficiently known by parents of children with ASD, thus affecting the chances of children’s evolution. Some legislation articles are partially or incomplete respected in our country, and the equality of chances for autistic adult is missing, with no access to specialized services or labor market. Romanian legislation insufficiently regulates and does not establish any clear procedure to ensure access to specialized recovery services (medical, social, educational) for persons with ASD, the screening for early detection of ASD symptoms and periodical evaluations for children are not performed, and more, legislation infringes the right to education and work for people with ASD.
