Autism Research And Support Foundation
In Georgia as well as globally the number of persons suffering from ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) is increasing. Despite the fact, that there have not been epidemiological researches conducted in Georgia on Autism, based on the credible international studies we can assume that statistical data for Georgia are similar to those for other countries. In particular, out of every 64 new born children, one has ASD diagnosis and the above number is growing. Every year the number of applications to the centers providing services is increasing. In terms of provision of services required for persons suffering from ASD, the resources of our country, as yet mainly concentrated in Tbilisi, is very scarce and does not meet the existing demand. The low awareness of population on autism often becomes a reason for late application, reducing the percentage of positive outcomes and does not support successful social inclusion of persons suffering from ASD.
