In Kyrgyzstan, there is a sharp increase in the number of children with autism spectrum disorders and speech delays. This was reported by parliament member Kamila Talieva during a parliamentary session, noting that this situation represents a tragedy not only for individual families but for the state as a whole.

According to the deputy, the serious threat lies in the fact that this problem is often identified too late. As a result, children do not receive the necessary corrective assistance at an early age when it is most effective.

“Experts emphasize that there are no preventive measures or early diagnostics. Especially in the regions, there is a critical shortage of speech therapists, defectologists, and psychologists. Addressing this issue requires a scientific basis and a systematic approach. We must ensure financial and legislative support for this area,” stated Kamila Talieva.

The deputy also added that ignoring this problem threatens the successful implementation of the national program "Healthy Nation." She urged the government to take this issue under special control.
