Unlike in the old Soviet Union…

The Soviet Union had discovered autism (although as a different term) in 1926;^[1] the Soviet Union also cared for autistic people.

Because of the lack of state resources going into treating autistic people, many parents of autistic children have to rely on “NGO’s” (they are unable to register as such, but are NGO’s according to the international interpretation of such a term). [5] These NGO’s are often rather inadequate: although many claim that they use ABA (Applied Behaviour Analysis), very few professionals working for these organizations have received formal training in ‘‘real’’ ABA principles and techniques. [6] Those organisations that do, such as the Stars and Rain institute in Beijing, are costly. Stars and Rain offers a 10-week programme in ABA, but the cost of the treatment is 3000 yuan (about $361.) with families being responsible for travel and accommodations on top of this. For most families in China, this is too much. [7]

Sigh… Looks like it’s those ABA worshipers again.
