Aapki Antara- Zee tv

Autism-Watch Aapki Antara episode from 8.30 to 9 pm on Zee TV

Hi friends,
Please watch Aapki KAntara episode from 8.30 to 9 pm on Zee TV- the last one minute is devoted to our families of children with autism.

The Zee guys have put in a lot of efforts in covering twenty families to show how diverse autism really is. The twenty children are from the lowest to the highest end of the spectrum yet have such diverse issues which can be seen very briefly.
In the course of the serial they try to educate the viewers about autism daily. At the end of it they have given a minute of air time to show how families are actually dealing with autism in mumbai to start with to see how the audiences react. They are also sincerely trying to show how to treat the child in terms of therapy/education as well as in the family and in society in a very positive way.
They have successfully managed to put the word autism in the mass audiences mind through the child Antara who is the star of the show and has autism. The Zee TV people are also continuously in touch with experienced therapists and doctors in the field of Autism to check how they should show the treatment in terms of therapy to be given to the child. They are open to feedback and are willing to show the right picture as far as possible so that the audience is able to understand what the child, the family and the teachers go through in handling autism.
We as part of Forum for autism, have always tried to increase awareness on autism, this serial has definitely helped in getting the word Autism on peoples lips very easily and thats the beauty of the medium.
Hope the story shapes well for Antara!
Cheers!
