Linord commented on the article |Thank you Dora for your response. I hope I can be of help with my experience and also hope to learn somethings to share with those in need in Africa. My nephew has Autism and it is something very peronal to me. he lives in the USA and was blessed to receive help and care which i have to admit have surprisingly improved his condition. Althought I am not saying he is cured, I have seen a big difference. My sister and her husband's approach has been alternative medecine. They moved to Arizona to find help This might not work for everyone but it has been working for my nephew.

I most part of Africa, Autism is still unknown. Diagnosis is still a challenges for health practitioners who do not have the knowledge or tools to recognize teh condition. Sometimes parents think it is a curse or they are ashame to disclose their child's condition. So children are doomed to live a very difficult life with no hope, becoming sometimea burden in society. Parents who have the financial means travel in search of answers whether in Europe or America. There are very few enters in Africa that adress Autism and much remains to be done in terms of education, awareness, diagnosis and care.
So althoug Autism is the same condition no matter where you live in the world, the way it is being addressed in different parts of the world makes a big difference.
