  1. No one is talking about free treatment in this country. It's about quality of life. Pakistan is not a very accepting place with regards to children with disabilities. There are very few schools that offer special needs services. And nothing there is free. No medical insurance systems. My nephew will never be allowed to attend a regular school, and in the villages like the one in which he lives he will be shunned. Even in my own family ignorance leads many to speculate that black magic is the cause of his condition. Crazy but true.

    We hope to find a safe place for my sister to live in Islamabad so she can get his therapy there. We don't have family there so we need to find a male relative who will live with her if she goes there. That's all we can do for now.

  2. My nephew is the son of my younger sister. They live in my village. My sis in law is aunt by marriage.

    The nearest place for my nephew to get therapy for his autism is in islamabad, a 3 hour hour drive from my village. He went there for his diagnosis. My My sister is is looking into trying to relocate there. Maybe she can stay with friends. The therapy is pricey. 2000 US dollars per per month. But it is the closest place to the village. There is no place in the village for him to go.

    My nephew is 2 years old and completely non verbal. The diagnosis my sister was told is severe autism.

    My nephew's father works in KSA and we looked and there is nothing anywhere near him that could help my nephew. And it was the doctors in KSA who told my my sister to go back to Pakistan with my nephew for help.
