Abstract. Formulation of the problem. Early intervention can improve the social and communication skills and further development of a child with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The lack of practical advice determines the relevance of disseminating information about autism among health professionals, teachers and parents. Formulation of the purpose of the article. The aim is to develop the theoretical basis of the pharmaceutical company’s activities on social support for children with autism spectrum disorders in the framework of the project “Your Boundless World” and evaluate their effectiveness. Literature review. One of the main problems in helping people with ASD is the lack of proper training and understanding of the specifics of people with acuteism by specialists. Presenting main material. “Your Boundless World” is a program of diverse support for autistic children, their parents and doctors, psychologists, speech therapists, teachers. It was founded by the Swiss company “Asino” as a long-term social project that has existed for four years and aims to draw public attention to the problem of socialization of children with ASD, providing qualified counseling and substantive assistance. Conclusions and prospects for further research. Our goal is to maximize our activity throughout Ukraine, to provide parents and professionals with useful and reliable information, to help improve the lives of as many children with ASD as possible, to increase society’s tolerance for people with special needs. The development of the project is based on the values aimed at making the world of people with special needs easier and kinder, the society more tolerant, the environment comfortable and favorable, the quality of life worthy.
