"In Kyrgyzstan, parents of children with autism fight every day for every smile, gesture of the child. Yet they are left to deal with this problem on their own. The state is not involved. There are no state centers for children with autism. Parents of these children go to the only private center, and many of them can't afford it to afford it. When we first found out about our child's diagnosis, we were working abroad for work. All the specialists came to visit us, and theyand they took care of me. Developed countries have long had clear algorithms in place when determining a diagnosis. The first priority is to provide help and support for parents of children with autism, because it's by informing the parents. How a child with this diagnosis will grow and develop, when we returned home, I realized how dire our situation was. and that there was nowhere to go for help. The parents are trying to do what they can to get some opportunities. But we need support from the government. from the state. And we don't have it." she said.
