April 2 this year is the seventh International Autism Day. On February 20th, the Autism Committee of China Association for the Mentally Handicapped and relatives and friends released the theme and slogan of International Autism Day-"Family Support and Community Integration of Autistic Patients", aiming at advocating the whole society to give more understanding and support to families of autistic patients.

According to reports, autism is a widespread developmental disorder that occurs in childhood and the core disease lasts for life. The family bears the main responsibility of lifelong care for children and bears multiple social, economic and spiritual pressures, so it is very important to support the family. Social dysfunction is one of the main core symptoms of autism. At present, there is no effective intervention and rehabilitation means. Social acceptance and community integration are not only the basic environmental needs of autistic patients, but also important development strategies.
