"It's an invitation to talk about autism, we've been doing it in Posadas for over 10 years, and people who need information will receive information from parents that they received many years, "said Patricia Caramuto of the group of parents of children. with Autismo who invited the whole society to participate in the event in Posadas, 4th section of the Costanera at 17h and in Oberá on Malvinas Square at 16h.

As Caramuto explains, autism is an invisible disorder and in some cases very difficult to identify. According to this argument, National United has declared this day international so that the world population speaks of what happens to many children and that they can receive adequate treatment and support of the family and social environment.

The blue color is the emblem and the international identification of autism. "It's the color of the sea, it can be a calm sea or a rough sea, it represents the states in which an autistic child and his family environment can pbad. "said Caramuto.

Autism is a disorder that primarily affects the social relations and socialization of those who suffer from it. We still do not know scientifically what is the cause, if we know that there is a wide variety of cases and that treatments are therefore individual and multidisciplinary.

"To be a disorder is not cured and it affects children, adolescents and adults, the work of sensitization is important.Having information serves us as a society to accompany this mom or dad in the collective, the supermarket or the street has an episode with his autistic son: instead of looking at him with the face of what is happening, why is this guy so rude, why scream? Accompany them with understanding. "

According to Caramuto, autism causes a blur in the coverage of social work, since "in certain pathologies, it is a treatment, a drug and a specific surgical intervention, in autism, it's the integrated teacher, the educational psychologist, the music therapist … it's your medicine. "

However, the state provides important support for health and education. In Posadas, since 2016, Special School No. 64 is the first in the country to specialize in disorder.
