Alessandria, interview by Pier Carlo Lava and Giancarlo Patrrucco, with Dr. Maurizio Cremonte, head of the neuropsychiatry unit at the “Cesare Arrigo” children's hospital, of the Alessandria Hospital Trust. According to Dr. Cremonte, with an early diagnosis and adequate therapies, in 25% of cases, it is possible to overcome autism spectrum syndrome. The questions: You are the most suitable person to explain this complicated definition of “autism spectrum syndrome”. Can you define it in a simple way, in its general, paradigmatic aspects? The numbers show it increasing, how is it going in Alessandria? We were saying, a complicated definition, but the causes also seem complicated, what can you tell us about it? And the remedies? Every now and then news comes out of some “miraculous” cure and families set off on journeys of hope, what do you think? We talked about causes and remedies, perhaps fake. Now can you summarize the phases of the work you carry out here, from when a report of suspected autism arrives?
