Most
of us don't understand Autism. It is a neurological disorder that
impairs or restricts a child's (and consequently the adult's) ability
to be involved in proper social interaction, verbal and non-verbal
communication, and causes them to show restricted and repetitive
behavior. The symptoms are first visible in the early stages of
childhood and can be confirmed by a qualified neurologist. Even
though the IQ of autistic persons vary; their average IQ is about 50
– similar to that of an 8-9 year old child.
Hemlata
Sharma, a homemaker wasn't aware of this condition until her two-year
old son started showing unusual symptoms. Rahul, first born of
Hemlata and her husband Ramesh, was not hitting the common
milestones. His speech was impaired even at the age of two and he
didn't respond to his parents and relatives like most children his
age do. Rahul's one and a half year old cousin's normal growth and
mental development further highlighted his distinctive behaviour.
