Autism from our Perspective

Autism

Autism Spectrum Disorder is a complex neuro developmental disorder, characterized by a spectrum of deficits such as social difficulties, communication difficulties, restricted interests, repetitive behaviours sensory issues.etc ..But behind this facade of symptoms there is a sensitive, intelligent individual who needs acceptance and help for his potential to be discovered and appreciated.

We believe that with the right kind of support and training, Children and adults on the Autism spectrum can shine forth with their skills and talents and contribute positively to the society.

Along with the cons Autism also has its pros and we believe in focusing on them Our Children are meticulous with details, truthful,honest, work better with a routine, can have outstanding skills in certain fields …and these qualities are huge assets . Through our activities our Goal is to bring forth this hidden potential in all our children and let them experience the integration and acknowledgement they deserve.

We know that autism does not just affect the child but the entire Family in some or the other way. Rajhanse Foundation extends the social and emotional support through various group activities for the whole family to experience the joy and pride with their children in spite of all odds. Autism is a part of our children's personalities and they can lead a wholesome life along with it. We see the strength , the capability , and the right to independence and dignity in each and every child and adult on the spectrum and together we work towards the dream of an integrated society where they have their own role to play..and where they get the respect and appreciation they deserve.
