520 _aThe present article outlines the scientific discrepancies in regard to the attachment styles of children with Autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Most studies reveal that the main elements that results in an insecure attachment style are the inherent characteristics of ASD, the associated disorders and the family issues. Despite their difficulties, children with ASD do make attachment signalization towards their parental figures. Yet, the scientific incongruity resides in the predominance of a particular attachment style in regard to children with ASD. Some believe that an insecure attachment style characterizes this population, while others dispute that certain elements of the secure attachment style are highly altered. Nonetheless, most authors agree on the existence of an alteration of the attachment bond between the child and their main caregiver. Finally, a moderator model of the insecure attachment style pertaining to the child’s disruptive behaviours and symptoms is proposed. Rather than including the influence of comorbid disorders, this model takes into consideration the child’s behaviours and symptoms as resulting from relationships disorders.
