None of the children concerned to see their labels, however, and some even wept.
Blue stickers are also the Pan teachers are part of a series of events across China to mark the special day for these children - the fifth day of Autism Awareness, which took place on Monday.
Gold School Kids Special Xuejun Pan which runs north-west of the city of Lanzhou is one of the few private rehabilitation centers throughout China, which is struggling to meet the special needs of children with autism in the context of inadequate funding, lack of professional and public misunderstanding.
"Treatment of autism requires a huge investment of time and money that many families can not afford," said Ban, a teacher 37 years old kindergarten.
"As a mother, I understand the pain of parents of autistic children," she said.
In 2007, Ban left his job in a kindergarten in Lanzhou, to establish a golden child. This is the first rehabilitation center for autistic children in Gansu Province, a relatively undeveloped area, surrounded by inhospitable plateau grasslands and arid deserts in the north-west of China.
Ban said that she was almost "forced" to establish the center, as concerned parents had nowhere to send their children to rehabilitation routine.
Parents of children with autism often face social stigma that many in China, with little or no knowledge of autism, autistic children are wrong just think as a result of poor parenting, Pan said.
Autism is a neurological disorder characterized by varying degrees of deficits in communication skills and social interaction, and restricted, repetitive behaviors, according to health experts.
For decades, has remained largely autism diagnosed in China and the Chinese government has recognized as a mental retardation in 2006. At least 1.5 million children in China, autism, medical studies have shown that the disease can affect one child in 166.
There is no widely accepted treatment or cure for autism. And the majority of children with autism are unable to attend a teacher when they inevitably fall behind in their studies. Rehabilitation centers are often double as a school.
But it struck an optimistic note pan.
"Many people believe that autism is a permanent condition that can not be cured, but the fact that my children have graduated from school healthy and happy," she told reporters. "Some went to normal school in the future. You'll be surprised at what they can do."
Nevertheless, the objective of the work of rehabilitation remains a challenge.
Ban said that it has invested 370,000 yuan, or about $ 56,000 from her personal savings to the school. Five years later, it remains to be seen whether he will have no financial return from these investments.
Care for children with autism is difficult. Ban said that many young teachers and educators have left over the past five years due to the huge burden and a difficult child's behavior, which can sometimes be very strong.
"Children with autism can sometimes attack you," said Ban revealing scars on her arms. "It's never easy."
There are no college or school in China, especially the train teaching children with autism. And a career as a teacher of autistic children is not attractive.
There are also cases where the cash pan so it was a trap delayed payment of salaries to teachers and employees of the center.
The challenges facing the pan are common to people who care for autistic children in a different place.
In Tianjin, an industrial city south of Beijing, the leaders of the rehabilitation center for autism, complains that it is difficult to register the center, NGOs, and it is difficult to raise money, and they can not rent office space is large enough, and invest in the best conditions.
"Sometimes our children have to sleep on mats on the floor, because we simply do not have enough space," said Juan Dongying, the head of Noah with autism learning center for children in Tianjin.
In the Ningxia Hui Autonomous, there are only three schools, two of which are private, to restore autism, but the number of children in need of assistance after 2000.
In 2007 the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution declaring April 2 as World Day of Autism Awareness, in an attempt to draw attention to the well, which affects tens of millions around the world.
Ban said that she hopes this year's Day Autism Awareness will help the center to get more public support and understanding of the general public.
Indeed, China Federation of Disabled Persons "in March, said that the union under the auspices of the government will give 36,000 poor children between the ages of autism 5:57 a subsidy of 12,000 yuan in 2015. Assistance commitments were also made charitable groups, such as a Fund, which was founded by film star Jet Li
The Foundation, in collaboration with Autism 103 rehabilitation centers across the country, organized a campaign in 40 days in the country from March 19 to raise public awareness about mental illness. The buildings will go blue in the cities, and in the bazaars and on the Internet outside the campaign will also be organized.
A spokesman said the foundation: "We encourage the public to take care of people with autism to help them reintegrate into society, and show them the warmth and love."
