Autistic children are highly intelligent and skillful. Provided the help of doctors, therapists and special education teachers, these kids can learn and communicate as others. Unfortunately, there is very little awareness about autism in Pakistan and no training centres, schools or clinics for autistic children. As a result they are left to live a miserable life. The parents of these kids and people around them are ignorant of the fact that these kids can also live a normal and successful life. It is high time to make suitable arrangements for autistic kids since 350,000 children in Pakistan suffer from autism.
