Children with autism all over the world are misunderstood, ostracized from their community, and not given the tools to succeed. Their families often feel alone and do not have the resources to properly take care of their children. On top of that, there are few people who are actually trained to teach people with autism. 80% of the autism population in the world are in developing countries.
