ABSTRACT

The birth rate in the country has been increasing over time and in this large number of births that are seen daily is a group of people with problems of adaptation to the environment that has been forgotten by society, the government and even by the health sector that is the area that has been responsible for meeting their needs. Currently this population has 392,800 children and young people without counting the adults who did not receive support from the authorities or any other means for their " treatment ". The objective of this study is to be able to show, as well as the states of Baja California and Colima that this group of population denominated as autistic or with Asperger, are people who have the same rights and privileges that society offers to be able to develop fully, safely and comfortably in an environment adaptable to their needs. For this reason, the analysis and case studies were carried out in a residential environment , as well as the direct interview with the people in charge of the autistic people's care; verifying that the spaces too open and exposed to the light produce a change of attitude of displeasure and many times reactions of aggressive self - injury on themselves . The parameters for maintaining a necessary space, as well as the state of it in comfort, relaxation , but above all security of residential spaces, are presented throughout the study in a clear and precise way. These spaces range from the private area such as the bedroom to the social area, which often represents a danger to the autistic person.

KEY WORDS: Comfort, safety, adaptable environment, necessary space, residential environment/space.
