Pope Francis autism - In the hopes to end the stigma of autism and the isolation of those affected by it, Pope Francis has set an international conference on autism. The Vatican's health care office will host the international conference with more than 650 experts set to attend. Pope Francis will be delivering a speech about children with autism and special needs on the day of the international conference.
Once again, Pope Francis aims to erase the stigma and overthrow isolation amongst those with autism spectrum disorders. Pope Francis autism conference will be hosted this week with the help of the Vatican health care office. From more than 50 countries, 650 experts will gather and experience an audience with the Pope.
According to the Pontifical Council for Health Care Workers, Rev. P. Augusto Chendi, the aim of Pope Francis autism conference is to "help break the isolation, and in many cases the stigma, that surrounds people affected by autistic spectrum disorders."
Though autism is widely known and diagnosed in the United States, elsewhere the disorder is yet to be diagnosed. Vatican city's', Italy, is home to such disorder where it is yet to be given utmost attention with regards to diagnosis and care of those with autism spectrum disorder.
Pope Francis autism conference is not the first of its kind. The public very well knows the pope's fondness for children with special needs. In addition to raising awareness during the conference, the Pope will also deliver a speech to the audience gathered at the Vatican hall. Music and movement for the children will be included in the session.
Regarding Pope Francis autism conference, experts on the autism spectrum disorder have also spoken up. The parents of children diagnosed with autism should have pastoral care as they are most at risk of divorce.
