Referring to the case study of a 12-year-old girl Nancy, given by Dr. Shayama Chona, President of Tamana, on how an autism affected person can recover to a near normal state due to the constant care in Tamana
So he wants a cure, and even tells the world that the miracle is already conveniently happening in his city of Delhi, at a three-year old school that just happens to be run by his good friend Mrs Chona. The child he names is conveniently rather American-sounding. Can you hear the sound of cash-registers 'chinging' already, as American mothers fly in to Delhi en-masse?
I can find no mention or report of any "Nancy" who attended a "Tamara" or a "New Hope" school. If there had been such a miracle cure (in less than three years), I'm sure it would have been mentioned or documented somewhere. Nor could I find any independent assessment of the progress of the children at the school. And, as some of you may know by now, I'm a good researcher.
Incidentally, speaking in 2003 the Indian president is also reported to have said...
"He said efforts are on to implant a biochip in the brain of such children to enable them to live a normal and healthy life. Even Stem Cell Therapy can make a huge difference in the lives of autistics, he added." (Wednesday, August 20, 2003, Chandigarh, India)
I'd suggest any pronouncement on autism he makes needs to be treated with caution.
"Equality can be generated by prevention, early detection, appropriate training to acquire certain skills and engaging the minds of affected children in productive efforts to enable them to lead a normal life,"
How about equality can be generated by stopping prejudice and actually practicing equality while allows for individuals, rather than clones to live? Strange how a country that stills struggles with the remnants of the caste system could produce a person that would have this opinion.
That's not equality, that's societal equanimity. Abby K. had it right. He wants "equality"--everybody being just the same, no variation, no diversity. Perfect equality.
Oh goodie, a microchip in my brain! I'll be able to interface with my computer far more efficiently.

What's scary is the system may be Windows "NT" :shock:
