Though Autism, diagnosis, evaluation, treatment, medicines, therapies, awareness and research have been going on for decades in developed countries it’s been only a few years the term Autism came to focus in my community .
Since every new subject catch interest of people .Autism is not a new word here also anymore. There are one or two organizations who have already taken the responsibility to use the term Autism and include it in serving the disabled children. Among the Autism associations in different regions of the world a name appears for this region too
but as a parent of an autistic child this is my view and experience. I get my hopes up whenever I see the name of a society or organization concerned with autism thinking that maybe now my child can get the much needed therapies in his own community but when I meet them I find that they don’t have adequate knowledge, facilities and services to treat autistic children and they are not ready to get much involved to create awareness or make arrangements to provide therapists because they are still in the initial stages. In this area few local therapists are available it is almost an impossible endeavor to get an appointment for a therapy session because, most of the time they are on leave or out of the country and when they do give sessions there are too many children for them to give time for everyone.
Since these non-profit organizations remain in the initial stage they inform that once they are able to raise enough funds they will be providing all the facilities, but the years have flown by still there are no therapists available and no improvement seen in their services, but they have been expanding their branches in different areas, I also believe it is in benefit for the community since we have been stuck in the same procedure as every year for a very long time there are many areas that need attention but in my view they are not being able to do a proper job in any subject on their agenda.
