The Ministry of Education of the Slovak Republic issued guidelines on the forms of adjustment of school attendance of primary school pupils according to §24 of the Education Act, which allows for individual education for health reasons with a minimum of 2 hours a week, but in practice different ranges of up to 4 hours a day are used[1]. Critics argue that this guidance is an impermissible practice damaging to the mental health of pupils with Asperger's Syndrome (AS) or Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), as states of regression and meltdowns can lead to permanent damage and disability[1]. Counseling facilities cannot have a higher say over medical conclusions, which, according to the opinion, violates the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the Convention on the Rights of the Child, especially Article 23 paragraph 3[1]. In secondary schools, §24a applies to students on the autism spectrum or with other neurodevelopmental differences, where an individual curriculum according to §26 is not possible[1]. In the Czech Republic, autism affects more than 2% of the population, which represents about 200,000 residents with ASD, although the prevalence of Asperger syndrome is unknown[2]. The European Parliament proposes the harmonization of the rights of people with autism, including the mutual recognition of diagnoses between Member States and the creation of adapted spaces such as "quiet rooms" in hospitals and transport[3]. There is ongoing research into ASD in children aged 12–30 months with suspected developmental delay, offering free diagnosis and referrals in the first half of 2026[4].
