Sindh Chief Minister
What the Chief Minister of Sindh Says
“Autism is not a deficiency — it is a different way of perceiving the world. True progress is achieved through empathy, understanding, and acceptance of these unique perspectives. Our government is steadfast in its commitment to ensuring that every child with special needs is treated with dignity, love, and equal opportunity. In Sindh, autism awareness is more than a campaign — it is a heartfelt promise to every child creating a world of their own. Children with special needs are not a responsibility — they are our pride. They don’t just require support; they deserve an inclusive, empowered society. Through strong public-private partnerships, we are developing a sustainable system that safeguards the future of every child on the autism spectrum. I envision a Sindh where no parent fears for the future of their special child — where understanding autism is not just a medical or educational duty, but a moral obligation rooted in our shared humanity.”
What the Secretary of DEPD Sindh Says
“As Secretary, I am committed to building an inclusive society where every individual, without discrimination, can live with dignity, access essential resources, and fully participate in all aspects of life. We focus on removing barriers through policies and programs that support education, employment, healthcare, and social protection. Our aim is to keep you informed, engaged, and empowered, so that together we can build a more inclusive and equitable future. ”

President & CEO
Autism Care & Rehabilitation Organization(ACRO)
“As the founder of ACRO, my journey began with a simple but powerful realization — that every child, regardless of their abilities, deserves dignity, love, and equal opportunity. I started ACRO because I witnessed the immense lack of awareness, resources, and inclusive platforms for children with autism and other special needs in our society. Our mission at ACRO is to create a compassionate, inclusive, and empowering environment where individuals with special needs are not only accepted but celebrated. Through rehabilitation, education, therapy, and community engagement, we aim to unlock their true potential and help them live fulfilling lives. ACRO is not just an organization — it is a movement to build a society that understands, supports, and uplifts every child. Together, with the support of compassionate individuals like you, we strive to turn empathy into action”
