Abstract

The increase in the prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorder has been arousing nterest and concern in several countries. Despite the lack of national statistic data to corroborate this observation, there are strong indications of a similar occurrence in our country with direct impacts on the Brazilian Navy. Thus, it is necessary to establish health actions to meet the growing demands, guided by the National Humanization Policy and the Assistance Policy of the Navy Health System.
