Nation marks Autism Awareness Day

None of the children bothered to look at their stickers, however, and some even broke out in tears.

The blue stickers, worn also by Teacher Pan, are part of a series of activities across China to mark a special day for these children—the 5th World Autism Awareness Day, which took place this Monday.

The Golden Baby Special School which Pan Xuejun runs in the northwestern city of Lanzhou is one of few private rehabilitation centers across China that struggles to cater to the special needs of autistic children, against a backdrop of inadequate funding, lack of professionals, and public misunderstanding.

"Treatment for autism requires huge investments of both time and money, which many families can't afford,"said Pan, the 37-year-old former kindergarten teacher.
