• Autistic challenged children face many physical
  and mental difficulties as they grow up. Its the
  duty of parent not to let them down and boost
  them time to time and provide enough confidence
  to children. They are just differently challenged
  people compared to normal people.
• Still there is very less awareness on Autism and
  symptoms of autism. There should be volunteer
  efforts from parent and every individual to
  increase the awareness and importance of halting
  autism and provide correct information on
  symptoms of autism and also improve healthy
  habits to not let any disease enter in to the
  body.
