Social care for autistic adults sought
Print Edition
China has a large number of autistic adults but they lack social support, according to a deputy to the National People鈥檚 Congress from Shanghai.
Although some autistic adults have completed nine years of compulsory education, they鈥檝e almost no access to quality vocational education, Liu Yan, also vice head of Minhang District, said.
There are about 230,000 people above the age of 14 with autism in Shanghai, and more than 10 million in China, so autistic adults without proper care could become a social problem, she said.
鈥淗elping these people live on their own and gain acceptance from society should be a priority,鈥 she said, suggesting the government train more specialized teachers for autistic people, provide additional employment support for those with autism and work to create greater awareness among the general public of this group of people.
