HDP İstanbul MP Züleyha Gülüm has submitted a Parliamentary question about the problems faced by children with autism and their families as well as the discrimination faced by them in both education and social sphere.

In the lawsuit filed against a sports teacher for battering a child with autism, the attorney of the defendant has said, “It was my client who suffered”. The expert report has also indicated that the child was subjected to physical and psychological violence.

After it was reported in the news that a group of parents requested the closure of classrooms for autistic children at a primary school in Aksaray and booed the children, the Ministry of Education has launched an investigation.
