This is the first conference about people with ASDs problems in Russia that gained official support of the Russian Ministries. The local governments of all 87 subjects of the Russian Federation received invitations to participate in the autism conference and now they will send their region’s representatives – heads of departments and relevant professionals – to Skolkovo. This is also the first conference where the groups which were founded by parents of children with ASDs would be introduced to the high level governmental officials making decisions in creation of the comprehensive support system for people with autism.
