Autism is a permanent neurodevelopmental disorder that appears in early childhood regardless of gender, social status or other circumstances. Autistic people are unique in social relations, they can show extreme interest in some topics, tend to ritualistic behavior and have difficulties in everyday communication. The ways of learning and the ways of processing the information received through the senses are outside the standards for people with autism.    World Health Organization highlights the problems of autistic people by speaking for the elimination of stigma and discrimination against them: this is a problem for both developing and supporting countries. By eliminating stigma and discrimination, efforts to overcome the manifestations of autism will be more effective. And it is possible with the united work of  specialists, family and community.
