Objective: to analyze the assistance provided to users with Autism Spectrum Disorder in a Primary
Health Care Unit. Method: a descriptive research study with a qualitative approach. The data
were collected through semi-structured interviews with professionals from the multidisciplinary
team in four Primary Health Care Units and supported by Bardin’s content analysis. Results: the
evidence revealed that contact with autistic children only occurred at times such as vaccination,
medication, appointments and routine exams, in addition to lack of structure for assistance. Lack
of knowledge and lack of training to dialog with the autistic spectrum in Primary Health Care
were presented as difficulties. Conclusion: identifying the autistic spectrum for early intervention
promotes improvement in the child’s cognition, affectivity, motor skills and behavior; however, lack
of knowledge and support training of other services in the psychosocial care network resulted in
challenges for the multiprofessional team’s work in primary care. Thus, this study contributes to
the advancement of knowledge by identifying these gaps that require intervention by managers
to strengthen the continuing education of these professionals and outline strategies to ensure
articulation between services in order to qualify the care provided to autistic individuals.
