Action For Autism (AFA) is a non-profit organization that pioneered the autism movement in South Asia. In the 1980s autism was virtually unheard of in India, a diagnosis of autism was rare, and there was little information available. The majority of children with autism received a diagnosis of mental retardation, mental illness, minimal brain dysfunction, conduct disorder, or other such labels. Neither parents nor the schools understood that these children were in fact autistic, and that children with autism respond best to specific intervention techniques. In 1991 AFA began as a parent support group, with a focus on raising awareness about autism in India, and moved to provide counselling services, specialised education, and training for parents and professionals. March 1994 saw the start of ‘Open Door,’ the first specialised school for children with autism in South Asia. With overwhelming response to these initiatives the decision was taken to formally register Action For Autism in 1994.
