    Introduction: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is on the rise; therefore, early detection and timely treatment, along with awareness of the issue, will improve care for children. Objective: To describe the characteristics of children diagnosed with autism at Hospital II EsSalud Cañete between 2018 and 2023. Material and Methods: A quantitative, non-experimental, descriptive cross-sectional study with a sample of 80 children diagnosed with autism. Medical records provided by the Hospital II EsSalud Cañete of the Rebagliati Network were used. Results: The average age was 6.08 years, and the average age of diagnosis was 3.06 years. 78.8% were male. 93.7% had a delay in language development, 90.0% had behavioral problems, and 86.3% exhibited repetitive habits. Among the profiles, the cognitive profile was moderate at 83.8%, the sensory profile at 63.7%, the psychosocial profile at 60.0%, and the behavioral profile at 68.8%. Conclusion: There is a need for a comprehensive evaluation of each child with ASD, considering their individual characteristics, prenatal history, and sociodemographic context, in order to provide treatments tailored to their needs.
