According to relevant statistics, the prevalence rate of autistic children is four to five ten thousand, and there are about 300,000 to 500,000 autistic children in China. Autism is getting more and more attention. As early as 1993, Tian Huiping, the mother of an autistic child in Beijing, founded the first institution specializing in early training and education for autistic children in China-Star Language. Over the years, almost every district in Beijing, Shanghai, Dalian and other cities has established schools for children with mental retardation, which can accept children with autism.

What's the current situation of Xi 'an? It is understood that at present, only Xi 'an No.2 Deaf School has enrolled several autistic children, and Zaoyuan Primary School and Kaixiang Primary School each have several children. Teacher Cui, who is in charge of special education in the Basic Education Department of the Municipal Education Commission, told the reporter that the special education in An is mainly concentrated in the first deaf-mute school and the second deaf-mute school, but both schools have 500 students and their development potential has reached saturation. Establishing a school for the mentally retarded is not a short-term goal, but Xi 'an will soon launch a new special education plan, which is expected to have a rapid development in four or five years, when the education of autistic children will be included.
