Neurodiversity refers to the principle where each person understands the various methods of functioning of the brain and its importance is taken. Accordingly, there is no proper way to think, learn or behave and this difference is seen among people with autism.
In his message, General Secretary Gutresh said that “Autism -the people are often disconnected, so scandalous scandal. And discrimination. They are deprived of health care and education, especially during a crisis. Did not recognize or ignore their legal power. “
He said that this national discrimination is “CRPD) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)” Breaking the promise of “let someone leave”. It is important to change it.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), autism or autism spectrum disorder reflects different groups at various stages involved in brain development.

There is no relationship with the vaccines
It is assumed that there is an autism in about 1 in every 100 children worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there are many factors, including environmental and genetic, for the possibility of autism in children.
Who has made it clear that ham, mamps and rubella (MMR) are not the cause of autism. Studies have shown that there is no connection between vaccine and autism.
According to the UN Health Organization, human skills and requirements with autism change over time. Some people can live independently, and others need lifetime care and support.
