Abstract
We present a historical account of autism in Peru. Currently, the term "autism spectrum conditions", from the neurodiversity paradigm, is used to describe neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by persistent difficulties in communication, social interaction, and restricted and repetitive behaviors and interests. In Peru, the scientific study of nervous and mental diseases began around 1920 and although the diagnosis of "childhood autism" was proposed in 1959, it only began to spread in the 1980s. Although significant advances were made in the 21st century, Peru still faces many challenges in addressing autism.
