Question 21579 — people with disabilities

Summary

Mr. Robin Reda questions the Secretary of State, attached to the Prime Minister, responsible for people with disabilities, on the care of autism or autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in France. Today 700,000 people - more than 100,000 children and young people under 20, 600,000 adults of whom only 75,000 are identified - suffer from ASD in France. The cost of their medical, medico-social and psychiatric care, timeline the 4 billion euros, to which are added at least 2.5 billion in benefits, tax expenditures and for those helping with schooling. Despite the sums allocated by the State, parents of children with this disability or adult patients fight on a daily basis to allow better inclusion in the educational and school world, in the world of work without additional financial difficulty linked to the care of this pathology. In fact, social security objectively allocates an insufficient amount to patients with ASD, between 350 and 500 euros. Furthermore, very often, a parent must stop working to look after their child, as children are only looked after 3 hours per day at school instead of the whole day. This situation suffered by families constitutes an additional element of daily difficulties. Children or adults affected by autism in France, like their families, should not see their struggle further compounded by financial problems due to insufficient support from social security. He therefore asks how the State intends to improve the situation of families and patients with ASD.
