The Supreme Court has sought responses from the Centre on a petition alleging systemic neglect in supporting persons with autism and other neurodivergent conditions. The plea highlights poor implementation of welfare laws and lack of sensitisation in public services.
The Delhi High Court dismissed a PIL for a special syllabus for autistic children, advising the petitioner to approach government bodies with well-researched proposals instead. The court stressed that educational policies require expert input and cannot be dictated by judicial means, allowing future representations if supported by valid data.
Sagar Express, a unique cafe in Delhi High Court, is run by a team of six neurodiverse individuals, including those with autism. The initiative, led by Senior Advocate Ravi Gupta, aims to empower neurodiverse individuals financially and provide them with employment opportunities. The cafe offers various South Indian dishes and promotes the skills of its neurodiverse staff.
