«Fondazione Marino per l’Autismo onlus» and Autism
Natalino Foti
Autism is a significant medical, social, organisational and economic problem. «Fondazione Marino per l’Autismo onlus» following the inspiration of its founder, was created and developed with the precise aim of defining a strategy with a concrete, effective solution to this problem. There are very few structures in Italy which are exclusively dedicated to Autism, and Fondazione Marino is one of these; its location and logistical and organisational set-up were designed in order to pursue the perspective of acceptable «normality» for the people with autism which it accommodates, and the results achieved until now seem to confirm the validity of this premise.
