It promotes a comprehensive approach in the social, health and education fields, and raises awareness in society about this issue. The law is based on fundamental principles such as dignified treatment, progressive autonomy, the gender perspective, intersectorality, participation and social dialogue, early detection, continuous monitoring, and neurodiversity.
