About ConferenceAGENCY FOR STRATEGIC INITIATIVES, RUSSIAN VENTURE COMPANY, THE RUSSIAN NEWS & INFORMATION AGENCY RIA NOVOSTI, Autism Research Institute (USA), MANAGEMENT COMPANY «SBERINVEST», CHARITY FOUNDATION «OUT», AUTISM CHALLENGES CENTER, PROFESSIONAL COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE «PREVENTIVE MEDICINE»Dear colleagues! Introducing to autism. Since there is still little known about the actual causes and mechanism of development of autism related diseases, there are no objective criteria, as well as no laboratory methods of diagnostics. The diagnosis is usually based on inspection and dynamic observation of a patient, being done by a number of professionals (speech therapists, neurologists, psychologists and psychiatrists), it is also frequently based on information, provided by parents and the results of psychological tests and scales, assessing cognitive and behavioral disorders. Nowadays, even in view of absence of official statistics, it is evident that the number of children with autism (aged from 2 up to 16 years old) in Russia is exceeding 300 000 of people. Despite the numbers, this part of society is hardly having any conventional representation neither in practice and medical science nor in educational or governmental and social institutional field. Biomedical aspects of autism also create a lot of specific problems.Nowadaysin Russia despite the growing awareness of autism all around the world, this disorder is still associated exclusively with the field of psychiatry. This point of view is contrary to the majority of scientific research results of the past two decades, but the research of that kind primarily comes from abroad, while in Russia inappropriate diagnostic and therapeutic methods are still a common problem. Hence the system simply depraves thousands of possibly adapted children from their right to be objectively diagnosed and treated. Main targets and goals of a conference
