During the International Conference on Autism \u201cOpening Doors\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, Eugenia Tymoshenko<\/em><\/strong>, President of the Association of International and All-Ukrainian NGOs \u201cSocial Protection\u201d, stressed the inadequate attention paid to the issue of autism in Ukraine and called NGOs and the government to work together on creating mechanisms for a systemic solution of the problem in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a great honour for us to be a co-organizer of the International Conference and to call together all those who can answer numerous questions concerning communication with children with autism and their education,\u201d \u2013 Eugenia Tymoshenko said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe ought to speak aloud about the problem of autism. We must recognize that we have a great number of such special children. They are wonderful and talented children; they are special and in view of this they are especially talented and sensitive for this world, they need our care, attention and protection.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She underlined that there are no mechanisms at the moment in Ukraine to solve the problem of autism: there is no early diagnosis of autism and no methods and approaches to correction and education of children with autism.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to her, there are no real statistic data on the issue in Ukraine. Officially, there are only 3000 autists registered when in fact 1 of every 52 boys and 1 of every 250 girls are born with of autism spectrum disorders.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>means<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>we<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>have<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>about<\/span>\u00a060\u00a0thousands<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>of<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>such<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>persons<\/span>.\u00a0This<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>causes<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>great<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>concern<\/span>.\u00a0Today, we demand from the state to begin collecting the statistic data, to hold a public campaign on informing the society about the problem of autism and to create a system of early diagnosis and therapy of autism,\u201d \u2013 Eugenia Tymoshenko added.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn the US, the problem hasn\u2019t been solved in a day. Only thanks to joint efforts by parents, NGOs and the government we will be able to help the special children,\u201d \u2013 she said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs the mother of a 10-year old boy with autism, I can say that raising an autistic child is not a sprint, but rather a marathon that requires constant patience\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Olga Ladna<\/strong><\/em>, Co-organizer of the event and Chairwoman of the Board of NGO \u201cWe Are Together!\u201d, stated this was the first international conference on the problem of autism and expressed her hope that such exchanges of thoughts and experience would help to solve the problem of autism in Ukraine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very grateful for the support and attention to our problem. This is an important conference and event for the parents of children with autism. Guests from all over Ukraine and even from abroad came here today to listen to international specialists and to share their experience. I hope we will be able to help the parents of children with autism,\u201d \u2013 she said.<\/span><\/p>\n
