In our working experience, we found that more than 200 autism children are living at in Mirsarai Upazila, Chattogram. This count is increasing day by day. There is no complete center for those autistic children at Feni, Ramgarh and north Chattogram that’s why OPCA and Rotary Club of Chattogram Smile took a plan for establish a complete autism center where children with autism will be got chance for a complete rehabilitation process.
