Introduction: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) requires multidimensional and continuous care throughout the life span. The Campania Region has implemented specific pathways for diagnosis, treatment, and social support for people with ASD.

Methods: Narrative review based on the analysis of major international scientific sources, national and

Regional regulations, company resolutions, and operational ASL documentation, as well as the 2024 Campania Region Autism Service Charter.

Results: Campania adopted a highly complex PDTA (DGR 131/2021), introduced intervention flexibility (DGR 42/2024), activated inclusive and residential pathways for adults (DGR 744/2022, DD

395/2023), and adopted the “Dopo di Noi” law (DGR 241/2022). ABA is integrated into some regional protocols (ASL Caserta - Resolution 1360/2024). The list of accredited centres is updated in the 2024 Service Charter.

Conclusion: The Campania model represents an integrated and replicable approach, with a continuous pathway from childhood diagnosis to adulthood, emphasizing the effectiveness of structured and proactive intervention.
