Question 4014 — people with disabilities

Summary

Mr. Bruno Millienne alerts the Secretary of State to the Prime Minister, responsible for people with disabilities, about the schooling and training of autistic children and adults. France has been condemned five times by the Council of Europe for discrimination against autistic children, for lack of education, schooling and professional training. According to the “Vaincre l’autisme” association, 80% of children affected by autism France are not in school, and when they are, the conditions for the child's success and development are not met. The people present to support them, the AVS, are recruited without knowledge of the disability or prior diplomas, and their training is limited to 60 hours. In addition, partial and unsuitable care for the child amounts to at least 2,500 euros per child per month, a very heavy financial burden and mainly supported by his family. This situation does not get better afterwards: unlike other disability situations, we associate “children” and “autistics”, without worrying about adults. A report submitted to the government on March 16, 2017 paints a damning portrait of the situation, but also opens up many avenues, in particular inviting inspiration from other countries. The Israeli model that offers autistic adults training and employment within the army is cited there. The report recommends that “literary autistics”, keen on languages ​​and books, could very well become translators, editors or work in libraries; those with an aptitude for nature or animals could also find work. He would therefore like to know what avenues the Government is considering to remedy this situation.
