Background. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder of unknown etiology, defined by impaired social communication and interaction, and by the presence of restrictive and repetitive behaviour. The autonomic imbalance, in which one branch of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) dominates over the other, is associated with a lack of dynamic flexibility and adaptability. The aim of this article was to summarize the current state of knowledge regarding ANS activity in children with ASD.
