World Autism Awareness Day TODAY
Integration has a long way to go
Sanzid Hasan was five when his parents, impoverished residents of Mohammadpur's Geneva Camp area, discovered that he could not communicate as easily as other children.
When they took him to the doctor, Sanzid was diagnosed with autism, a developmental disorder which severely restricts social interaction, communication, and causes repetitive behaviour. He was also diagnosed with low vision and seizures.
A child with multiple disabilities, he was rejected by all the schools his parents took him to get admitted.
With the help of a non-governmental organisation, Sanzid was finally admitted to a community therapy school and on his way to receiving an education.
