Senate Commission defines that autism report must be permanent; why is it important?

Senator Romário, one of the activists of the cause, explained in his justification that, not infrequently, families are financially harmed in order to obtain several TEA reports, in relation to a family member, as the validity period expires. “Which is unjustifiable”, reinforces Romário, as autism is a permanent constitutive condition of the individual.

The report was made by senator Zenaide Maia (PSD-RN) and reinforces that the permanent nature of the condition of an individual with autism is something “widely demonstrated by Science”.

Neurodiversity: what is it? And why do we need to talk about the subject?

You may have heard of neurodivergent, neuroatypical or atypical. These nomenclatures are usually associated with people on the autism spectrum. But they also cover other neurocognition disorders and conditions, that is: people who have brain functioning that is different from the majority. From this idea, the concept of neurodiversity emerged, which talks about the differences that exist in the human brain. Abroad, the subject is recurrent and has become the subject of successful series, but here in Brazil the subject is still in its infancy. Come the Curto News explains it to you.

“The fact is that the loving daily activity of family members and other guardians should not be burdened with unreasonable demands that do not take advantage of scientific advances. The characterization of autism spectrum disorder as a permanent condition of life is a scientific conclusion, widely demonstrated today”, highlighted Senator Eliziane Gama, when reading Zenaide's report.

The analysis of this proposal now goes to the Senate's Social Affairs Committee (CAS).
