Is There Autism in Cuba?

Posted on • Christina Adams

I travelled to Cuba and explored how their society is addressing autism and special needs. There isn’t much information available online, so I wanted to find out for myself. And yes, there are autistic children and adults in Cuba, along with other people with special needs.
I visited Havana’s Center for Rehabilitacion and Integration for Pediatrics, a school for children and young adults with significant disabilities. I also interviewed an administrator of an autism school. Here, I discuss my trip and what I found on the Autism Live show.
Enjoy the beautiful photos of Havana’s cars and architecture as a bonus!
