By 2050, one in two children in Mongolia will suffer from autism, Z. Oktyabr, head of the NGO Journey to Autism, said on March 31, the information portal news.mn reported.
“Parents of autistic children go abroad because in Mongolia there are no conditions to raise their children. In 2017, 1 in 55 children were diagnosed with autism and in 2021, 1 in 33 children were diagnosed with autism. According to a preliminary study, if we continue in this direction, by 2050 one in two children will have autism.noted October.
He added that children with autism differ from normal children in language and behavior, and that is why social discrimination occurs. According to him, we must give these children the opportunity to learn and develop in the same way as normal children.
As a reminder, April 2 of each year is World Autism Awareness Day. This year, the action “Let’s change our attitude towards autism and accept it positively” will be organized in Sukhbaatar Square.
