A similar short film about autism and self-harm (SAHAR-M)( MR/P028144/1) was screened in the first week of December. Autism is a psychological disorder, out of many, that affects 1 out of 160 children worldwide. Often the symptoms begin before the age of 5 and last until adolescence. If we talk about Pakistan, there are no reliable and final statistics on the rate of autism, but it is estimated that around 400,000 children suffer from autism. To know the exact rate of any disease, it is very important to be aware of it and this short film "Bhai" is a great step towards awareness.
