Hope: national academy for autism and neuro-development disabilities

Abstract

Autism in a mental condition, present from early childhood, characterized by great difficulty in communicating and forming relationships with other people and in using language and abstract concepts. People with Autism have to face several hardships throughout their lifetime. Even though it is not a disease, but many of us still unable to understand that an autistic person is as normal as us with just different way of communication. In Bangladesh, almost 10% of the total population have disabilities. It is high time to realize that without the contribution and participation of a large portion of our population, we cannot achieve what we want as a nation. The idea of an awareness center is to develop more interaction between general people and the people with autism. The academy will not only provide proper education to the special children and adults, but also encouraging general people to know how autistic people deal with regular activities. This project will bring the opportunity to produce more facilities to the people with autism and help them to participate socially.
