Diane Gashumba Budget To Deal With Autism
Health Minister Dr. Diane Gashumba said she would engage the Ministry of Gender Promotion and Family Planning (MIGEPROF) and Ministry of Local Government to work on a plan to be included in the 2020 budget due in June this year.
“It is good the issue of autism has been raised early to allow us to include it in the budget like other serious medical conditions,” said Gashumba last Friday on World Autism Awareness Day, which also begins the international month for Autism.
At La Colombiere school in Kigali, the Rwanda Parents Initiative on Autism had gathered to mark the day. The association comprises more than 100 families that have children with autism.
The condition leaves people with it, especially children, requiring extensive care. Available research shows that people with it experience low functionality, limited verbal skills, difficulty understanding daily instructions and need a lot of assistance in doing their daily routine.
However, some research suggests some people with the condition exert rare intelligence. There are some known cases such as Albert Einstein who experienced language delays and educational slowness. The list also includes world-known physician Isaac Newton and the music historian Mozart. Among Rwandan families, they have tales to tell.
Uwamahoro Dalda Walda is a mother of two boys – one aged seven and five, who both suffer from autism.
“It is easy that someone can suffer from Malaria, and you are sure there is a pill for malaria. Imagine dealing with a condition you have never heard of in your entire life. It is a huge challenge because you don’t know where to go and who to ask,” she told The Chronicles.
The boys are attending Green Hills Academy, where she plays up to Rwf3m ($3,400) per semester for them to attend the Special Needs Class.
