Shock in the Vogtland: District Office ended with cooperation with autism center!

A bang for the support landscape in the Vogtland: The district office in Plauen has terminated the contracts with the Vogtland autism center to the regret of many affected families. This means not only a sum of around 1.2 million euros, but above all a great uncertainty for the numerous autistic children and adolescents who rely on the offers of this facility. According to Freie Presse unclear.

On May 13, 2025, the district office terminated the cooperation on December 31, 2025 - and without any explanation. This applies to decisive performance areas such as school accompaniment, family -supporting service, accompanying parenthood and social competence training. Sabine Heckel, the co -founder of the autism center and only recently awarded the Federal Cross of Merit for her tireless efforts, was visibly frustrated by this Situation and emphasizes the existential threat to the center.

a shock for those affected

"This is a difficult blow for everyone!" Said her displeasure and demands a withdrawal of the termination. The association, which was founded in 2005, wanted to celebrate a milestone birthday this year, which is now being overshadowed by uncertainty. The termination is not only a financial burden; Above all, it endangers the security of care of the people cared for. The autism center sees itself as a duty to defend the rights of those affected and indicate that a proper interest in interests was apparently not carried out before this decision.

This decision is a real neck for many parents and those affected. The public sector must not terminate such contracts for no factual reason, since they also affect the fates of people with disabilities. This also refers to the applicable framework of European law, as they are mentioned in a resolution of the European parliament Disabilities are recorded and access to support services is to be secured.

The future remains uncertain

The termination could possibly be considered illegal, especially since it was done without sufficient reasons and a careful examination by the district office was missing. Families with autistic children have often been waiting for support for a long time, and if they now lose their contacts, this could further tighten the situation. Such measures are counterproductive in particular in the current time in which an increased awareness of the needs of people with disabilities are required.

The autism center not only caves investments in personnel and infrastructure, but also hope for improved living conditions for autistic people. The challenges with which people are confronted with autism range from discrimination in everyday life to considerable difficulties when accessing access to help. In the EU, an estimated 5 million people suffer from autism, and in particular they need trusting cooperation with institutions to improve their quality of life.

This development is not only followed carefully; It shows how important it is to raise the voice for affected families and to stand up for their rights. With a clear call to those responsible to maintain people's trust in social structures, the appeal to rethink the termination and thus also take the worries of many parents seriously.
