Some hospital departments refuse to admit individuals with autism and refer them to inappropriate facilities. Authorities have not yet established specialized services for these individuals. The president of KYSOA is calling for intervention from the Presidential Office to ensure vulnerable citizens receive necessary care. She argues that the current conditions violate the fundamental rights of people with autism.
