The TEA Law guarantees the right to equal opportunities and safeguards the social inclusion of children, adolescents, and adults with ASD, eliminating all forms of discrimination. It promotes a comprehensive approach in the social, health, and educational spheres and raises awareness about this issue. The law is based on fundamental principles such as dignified treatment, progressive autonomy, a gender perspective, intersectionality, participation and social dialogue, early detection, ongoing monitoring, and neurodiversity.
