Abstract

The article affirms the desirability of a long-time psychocorrectional support of individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and their families, including in adulthood. The term developing social environment for an adult autistic individual is uncovered. Two important areas of psychological correction of ASD starting from younger adolescence are identified. These are: 1. teaching of skills of appropriate social behavior and 2. increase of understanding himself and the world of people and their relationships by autistic individual. The specifics of each of these areas of work and the methods used in each of them are briefly described. In particular, forming social skills has “good habits” and social roles developing as a base. The author supposes psychological support shouldn’t be equaled exclusively to the development of social skills which individual needs.
