People with autistic disorders are entitled to gain profitable employment: Experts worldwide are increasing the incidence of neuro development disorders, with autism affecting one in 100 children according to the WHO, the psychotherapist Minu Budhia said. “The focus should be on skills building in a sensory friendly environment with social communication training. Organizations need to create an inclusive autism-friendly workspace,” Budhia said. Conditions such as ADHD, intellectual disabilities and learning disorders also affect millions, making neurodiversity much more frequent than we realize, Budhia said. Individuals on the autism spectrum do not need sorry, she said, adding, “They need our understanding. In my opinion, empathy means to see their strengths, celebrate their abilities and provide the right support to help the neurodivals thrive in a neurotypical world.” Budhia, founder of Carring Minds International, also said that as a mother she saw the power of empathy firsthand for a special child. “Empathy stimulates attitude shifts. When teachers, educational institutes, employers and society have an open mind, individuals with autism can fulfill lives on their terms,” ​​she said. According to rehabilitation psychologist Amrita Panda, people with autistic spectrum disorder with vocational skill training should be transferred to find profitable work. “These people should be treated with empathy and not sympathy,” she said. DEEPRANJANI Foundation, founded by Panda to empower adolescents and adults with cognitive or behavioral disorders, has identified five areas for skills training and then provided work. “The five areas where skills training is given to autistic persons are multimedia, bakery, spices, crafts and tailoring,” Panda said. She said that the foundation of orders of companies in these five areas ensures that are then produced in the units manned by autistic adolescents and adults. Part of the yield, resulting from the order supplies, is then distributed as salaries along with statutory benefits such as PF and ESI. According to Budhia, parents and educators miss early signs for lack of awareness. Panda said he distributed the perception of such cognitive and behavioral disorders for the sake of the World Autism Awareness Day, which falls on Wednesday, the foundation linked to the Vaishali Skills Development Center, a Division 8 business that is non-profit, to improve employability and training.
