Ashutosh Kumar (name changed) had to wait a year to get his son admitted to kindergarten. And, despite his son being autistic, Kumar opted for admission under the general category, rather than the 3% reserved for children with special needs (CWSN).
"I didn't want the school to know my son was autistic. He was good academically, so I decided to wait. I was worried admitting him through quota might result in him being judged or stereotyped," said Kumar.
