Disabled community hails rights’ Bill passage in RS

Quote:
Director of Action for Autism, Merry Barua, welcomed the news but said it will take time before the bill becomes a law, "For the first time, autism will be accommodated within the fold of disability and the affected protected by law. It is indeed an important milestone as it will give more scope for travel, education and employment for the autistic," she said.

Although the Times of India is a reliable news source in India - just a warning that Indian media pages will load multiple pop ups onto your page and slow down your browser speed...

Like letting in one person into your house and having 5-6 uninvited guests waltz straight in through your front door!
