Autism Spectrum Disorder is one of the relevant outcomes when it comes to psychic suffering in childhood. A current big challenge is the detection of autism risk signs in infants and the proposal of appropriate intervention, as soon as the detection is made. This study aimed to investigate the risk signs of Autism Spectrum Disorder in infants patients of a Specialized Rehabilitation Center for Physical, Visual, Intellectual and Autism. It is a cross-sectional study whose sample consisted of 18 infants. The inclusion criterion was to be 4 months old, plus or minus 29 days, considering the corrected age for preterm births and the target variable was risk signs of Autism Spectrum Disorder. Of the 18 infants evaluated, only one (5.5%) presented risk signs of Autism Spectrum Disorder, with a score of three on the PREAUT-Olliac protocol and two (11%) presented intermediate score. Because of the COVID 19 pandemic, the practice of evaluating infants had to be interrupted in a big part of the year 2020, compromising the reevaluation of some infants and the evaluation of the new ones. Despite being an infrequent outcome, investigating it proved to be essential since the few infants found have benefited from initial support and appropriate intervention. Thus, the work of detecting risk signs of Autism Spectrum Disorder in Specialized Rehabilitation Centers is considered extremely relevant.
