15 years ago, on 22 May, 2000, the Mace-donian Scientific Society for Autism (MSSA) was established. From that day until today MSSA has left a huge impact in the field of raising the public awareness, providing assistance to parents and children with autism, formation of public opinion about the autism issues, making a huge contribution, especially in terms of the science of autism. In few words, MSSA has left a mark not only in Macedonia, but also in many countries in the region and with its constant, hard-wor-king and scientifically underpinned practice.
