Abstract

The article presents on studying the situation and needs of parents with children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) in Mongolia. According to the World Health Organization, one in every 100 children has an autism spectrum disorder in the world [1]. In Mongolia, there is a lack of knowledge, statistics, and experience in the areas of diagnosis, educational assessment, education, and support for children with ASD. Also in Mongolia, it is believed that the number of children with ASD is greatly increasing every year. For example, in 2022, a maximum of 702 children with ASD were registered. As a result of these statistics, there may be a need to reconsider the diagnosis and assessment of ASD in Mongolia. Because autistic disorder, its diagnosis and assessment were first translated from a foreign language and developed in Mongolia only in 2006 [2]. In connection with this condition, there is an urgent need for early diagnosis of children with autism spectrum disorders, the development of early support programs, the inclusion of children in these programs, and the appropriate support for their parents and families. Therefore, we conducted this study to clarify the concerns and needs of parents of children with autism in the current situation in Mongolia.
