Josef is our friend; He invented the word “Autistan”, and we do everything else…
He is the godfather of our organization, since 2016 october.
Several of his books, conferences, television and radio shows, mention Autistan.
There would be too much to write about him here.… (He's aproximatly 120000 results in a famous search engine…)

Zhanat Karatay (to the left), owner and director of Pioneer concept, show it very first flag of Autistan (in the printing company, with the owner), the 3 august 2016.

It was a mtruly historic moment for nous, since it was the first “material existence” of our concept. Zhanat helped us in various ways to transform a project (almost a dream) in concrete reality, for the first time.

Our flag was inspired and designed there, in sa large mountain resort in Almaty, which is the valley visible in this photo (where he is possible to guess the buildings of Pioneer Resort, falling in the distance): thanks to e
l
the, the first very large autista n flag (1, 40 x 2, 26 meters) could start to “fly over the world”, as seen in the image above (in August 2016).

Below, the same flag, just received, in the restaurant room:

She also helped us starting with the concept of embassiess of Autistan.

Zhanat Karatay is definitely a “providential person” for autistic people around the world.

Indeed, not onlyement we could start our project concretely thanks to her, but also she understandsd autism and she organizeds summer camps and ski camps includedives for children and young people, where autistic children could really progress, because‘they were not “treated” with a medical approach, since Zhanat knows-like us-that the autiems is something to be valued, not to be healedi.

She is also the proud mother of a young autistic artist, Alibek.

We would like to say a “special thanks” to Zhanat Karatay, forr his trust and for helping us to really get started, and also for all the help it can provide to the autistic population in general, thanks to his understanding, his common sense and good will.

THE other organizations thati support us:

?………..
En dehors du concept de pionnier au Kazakhstan en 2016, we have never found any organization capable and willing to help an autistic organization; our autistic colleagues in different countries do not know anything like this; apparently, autism is still considered “something to heal”, and the concept of autistic people trying to help themselves and “defend autism” probably seems surreal to most people.
We are alone, in a human desert.
We are 1% of the world, but there apparently isn't even one public or private agency to help autistic organizations (not just about “treatment” or “education”, but also about the real help we need, and on empowerment and freedom). Nothing.

This page is still under construction.
Indeed, noWe don't have enough time to look for supporters, sponsors, etc.
It takes too long to do it, for almost no results.
The only ones who helped us, are the people of Kazakhstan (principalement concept pionnier à Almaty).
Other organizations always welcome; they usually explain that autism is not in their field; Sometimes, they say they will help, but they don't. Therefore, we have other things to do, more fruitful than just collecting congratulations, promises and deceptions.

Quick presentation :

1. Autistan is the “autistic world” : this designates, In summary, everything that characterizes autism and autistic people.
2. The Diplomatic Organization of Autistan a pour but principal d’inform public authorities countries, so that they better understand the needs and difficulties of autistic people, with the aim of a “Correct Consideration of Autism Everywhere” allowing a “Accessibility for Autistic People Exposed to Disabling Situations“, in order to reduce the “Socio-Generated Attacks (sensory, mental or other)”.
Our organization is “extra-nationale”, she does not perform any “outside interference”, it offers complementary contributions thanks to a very broad approach, diverse, different, which allows comparisons and reflections that are very useful for improving public policies.
3. Autistic people do not suffer “of autism” : they suffer from consequences of the absence of Correct Consideration of Autism Everywhere, and therefore the absence of public policies and measures allowing accessibility thanks to the reduction of these external attacks.
4. For that, it is essential to start by understanding that “autism” (which is a human difference with many qualities) is a different thing from “autism disorders” (which are only problems, objective or subjective).
5. Autistic people must be able to “learn non-autism” to live by adapting to it, BUT without complying that is to say without “obligation to become non-autistic”, because we must preserve the qualities specific to autism, and we must avoid the many and dangerous faults and social traps, in particular that which consists of creating self-esteem through “possible judgment by strangers”, which requires a sort of “dictatorship of social image” obliging to “glasses” (which is absurd, superficial, and particularly toxic for autistic people).
6. It is imperative that autistic people are not thwarted in their interests or businesses (except for the minimum rules of good manners), that they are not exposed to restrictions, to over-protection or deprivation of liberty because of their autism.
Indeed, it’s unfair but above all it prevents any positive development.
The positive development of autistic people is only possible if they can follow “your own life path”, which is obviously not ordinary, and which will be favored by an unlimited multitude of possibilities, of choice, of chances, of experiences, dating, of adventures, travel etc.., and not the other way around : the restriction and aridity of a life even more limited and restricted than that of most non-autistic people (which is very “standardized and robotic”).
For that, it is imperative and essential that PARENTS of autistic people can be “educated about autism”.
7. Freedom and experimentation are therefore essential, and understanding of these principles (among many others that we can explain and demonstrate in detail) is essential for society to enable a better life for autistic people : more free, more just, more fulfilled, with the same level of possibilities and chances as non-autistic people, that is to say a “real life”, worthy and happy.
8. This would be possible if autistic people who can explain these things were listened attentively, and if the public authorities made efforts and understood that the necessary modifications are not abusive : these are corrections that are beneficial for society as a whole.
Try to attract attention, and explain these things convincingly with examples and evidence “from real life” : this is the only goal of our organization.
