Current situation of Covi-19 has changed our ability to provide our service and education to our children. In Zitacuaro Michoacan children with autism don't have access to regular schools and therapies they need. No access to community services and social interaction causes difficultly as well. Families lack of information, resources, and strategies on rising a child with autism causes abuse and violence within the family.
