Re: Country’s first autism centre, Braille printing press opened
^^ Last I heard, a larger part of sindh is devoid of clean drinking water and many kids and adults dying due to shortage or no water access to their areas. While if with good intention, the autism centre is not a bad idea but what about all the pakistanis living in sindh dying because of no drinking water because the sindh ministers and leaders cant be bothered to lift their eyes from their full plates to look at that suffering population & provide them access to clean drinking water. Considering the facts and ground realities of sindh and attitudes of the ministers and leaders of sindh towards those existing basic problems faced by the common people, centre for autism seems to be just another way of adding to the pockets of those incharge of this project from top to bottom.
Besides, I did not know there were so many austism cases in pakistan. Personally, I saw one single case during my life time where this kid of a Pakistani family was diagnosed. But this Pakistani family & their ancestors were based overseas. Only visited Pakistan every few years. I saw that kid during one of their trips to Pakistan. That kid was being treated abroad where the family lived (one of the wealthiest countries in the world) but died after a few years.
Autism was discovered in the west like many other diseases. Of course, there is the pharma industrial complex but the west still does many things right.
For you and many other pakistanis, it would be a batameez bacha / bachi. Pakistan isn’t that advanced medically and neither do we do R&D to try and become a first world country.
