About Autism Care Nepal :
AutismCare Nepal was founded on 2 April
2008 on the auspicious occasion of the
World Autism Awareness Day. It is the
only active autism organisation in Nepal
that is run by passionate parents that
care for autistic children. We provide
support and information services to
persons with autism and people who work
with autistic children in Nepal. We
would like to work with organisations
worldwide to share information,
resources and assist families and
children at a national level, and look
forward to continuing our contact with
families and professionals worldwide. We
intend to educate, aware and act for the
rights of autistic children throughout
Nepal.
Autism is a complex developmental
disability that typically appears during
the first three years of life and is the
result of a neurological disorder that
affects the normal functioning of the
brain, impacting development in the
areas of social interaction and
communication skills.
