On April 2, 2022, an important and very useful annual Festival "People as People" was held, dedicated to the Day of Dissemination of Information about Autism. This event helps not only to understand the characteristics of people with mental disorders, but also allows you to learn how to successfully interact and work with them.

The conversation was aimed at informing parents of children with ASD and specialists. The discussion lasted an hour and a half and touched upon the pressing topics of the world of adaptive sports for children with autism: how to choose an adaptive section, a coach, is it possible to turn sports into a profession, what are the prospects for the development of adaptive sports for children with autism in Russia.
