Aim: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurological condition characterized by difficulties in communication and social skills. This article aims to present a critical perspective on the challenges faced by patients with ASD during dental consultations. Material and method: A study was conducted with students of the Dental Care Unit of UNIANDES to assess their knowledge and approach to the management of patients with autism, seeking to reduce stress and phobias related to noises and colors. A survey was designed to evaluate the students' level of knowledge about the proper management of autistic patients, addressing topics such as collaboration, different levels of autism, common oral problems, and behavioral management techniques. Statistics and Result: The results revealed insufficient knowledge on the part of the students in the management of autistic patients. In conclusion, despite the importance of autism in the training of students, there is a lack of knowledge on this topic that needs to be addressed through better education and training in the management of patients with ASD in the dental field.
