A better color than the blue of the sea could not characterize today's day. It is the one that divides countries, but unites them at the same time. But above all, it is identified with the unexplored. Just when the scientists of the deep think that they have discovered it, that they know it, they realize that they still know nothing about it and that it will always surprise them by inviting them on a continuous journey of exploration. Those who accompany them try to understand their own wants, their own special way of expressing their feelings, in order to bring out the many beauties and possibilities that their own bottom hides.
Friends,
The feelings of a child with autism are expressed in many ways. They try in their own way to fit in with other children since they are different and hope one day to succeed . In this effort we have to be supportive in order to make it a reality .

Today, which is after all your day , I want to convey the message that , as the Ministry of Health , we stand by you with infinite respect. We admire your heroism and learn from your patience and perseverance in your common struggle with your children. We know that we cannot work miracles but we try, as far as possible, to join with you in offering new opportunities that will help your children.

Both early diagnosis and early intervention are, after all, key parameters for the positive developmental progress of these children, contributing significantly to a better prognosis.
In closing, allow me to paraphrase the lines of "Little Sailor", with all due respect to Nobel Prize-winning poet Ulysses Elytis: let us all make an effort to "become a wind for their kite, and a kite for their wind, even when it seems that the sky does not exist".
