Why do I support an autism related project?
As a matter of fact, there are different reasons :
1) ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) is much more common than most people think.
2) It is a serious and lifelong disabling condition.
3) It can have a profound or even devastating effect on individuals and their families.
4) ASD cannot be cured, however the right support at the right time will make an enormous difference.
5) There is little knowlegde about ASD in Nepal.
Inspired by the dedication and enthusiasm a group of Nepalese parents showed when founding Autism Care Nepal Society in 2008, I decided to support this project by walking the Great Himalaya Trail and through talks.
Along the GHT, my guide Temba helped me to inform local women about ASD
