GLAD

Autism is a disorder of neural
development characterized by impaired social
interaction, verbal and non-verbal communication,
and by restricted and repetitive behaviour, which is
the fastest-growing serious developmental disability
Autism now affects 1 in 68 children and 1 in 42 boys.

The Prevalence rate of Autism in India is 1 in 250 and currently 10
million people are suffering in India.
Autism costs a family Rs.36,00,000 a year on average
throughout the world.

Boys(1 in 42) are nearly five times more likely than Girls(1 in
189) to have autism

Children born to older parents or born pre maturely or with
low birth weight are at greater risk for having Autism.
In a first ever survey by International Clinical Epidemiology
Network Trust (INCLEN) , 1 to 1.5 % autistic children were
found between ages 2 and 9 in India.

AWE-tism Month :

- Nikhil Roy

All I can say is
thank goodness most people
don't think like that. I was
diagnosed with Asperger
syndrome when I was nine. I
don't remember much about
my childhood - I feel left out
when my friends talked
about how fun school was
during reception class. The
only real memory I have of it
is hiding under a table,
feeling really stressed out.
Most of primary school was
distressing and all I
remember is that I really
hated it. I really couldn't deal
with being in a classroom
with other people all day,
when all I wanted was to be
alone.
Learn To Earn Campaign
• As a foundation stone for the initiative, the management of Siemens
can train Autistic Adults on earning a livelihood.
• The program will be targeted for providing training to the patients for
making them employable in the organization.
• The program will only deal with skill based training for chores
requiring stress free and minimal physical work.
