April 2 is the Autism Awareness Day. Astrakhan residents support the international action “Light it up blue”, and the region has an association of parents “Autism. Astrakhan “. At the beginning of 2021, about three hundred children with autism spectrum disorder were officially registered in the Astrakhan region.
Association “Autism. Astrakhan “this year marks five years. According to one of the co-founders of the association, Tatyana Chulkova, the organization supports more than a hundred families in which children with autism are raised.
According to the established tradition, the association arranged a holiday for children and parents. They were invited to a tea party and a concert.
“One should not think that such children do not need society. They can and should be socialized. We are making great efforts towards this, ”said Tatiana Chulkova.
