What is Autism?

During the last few years, the incidence of autism has increased manifold in Pakistan, perhaps due to more awareness and diagnoses. At the same time, there are more cases now children with ADHD and Dyslexia, for which again, there is little awareness and remedial intervention. The ASDWT has been specifically set up to act as a catalyst of change, as it provides free counseling and training to parents, teachers, the police and community based organizations, so that a critical mass of trained people can be created to understand, help and support person with learning disorders and disabilities.
