Autism being a global issue, the World Health Organization estimates that 1 child in 160 has an autism spectrum disorder. It is a group of complex brain development disorders characterized by difficulties in social interaction and communication and a restricted and repetitive repertoire of interests and activities. It is estimated that around 50% of persons with ASD also suffer from an intellectual disability. A resolution of the United Nations General Assembly, which was passed and adopted in 2007, designated 2nd April the World Autism Awareness Day, mainly in order to improve human rights.

In Novosibirsk, the Center of Applied Behavior Analysis at NSU, an NGO Atmosphera and the Pobeda cinema have cooperated to show cartoons adopted for autistic children.

The Center of Applied Behavior Analysis at NSU was created as part of the project on studying modern methods of treating autism. The Center is one of those few organizations in Russia that treat autistic children using methods of ABA, which have been proved efficient by numerous research evidences. The NGO Atmosphera aims at helping parents with autistic children by consulting them on the possibilities of education and methods of treatment for such children. It joins forces of the parents who advocated the project on preparing specialists for treating autism at NSU.
