What really is Autism?

Autism is known as a spectrum of neuro-developmental disorders characterised by deficits in verbal and social communication, and by rigid and repetitive behaviours. These characteristics present themselves in affected persons in a spectrum ranging from mild to severe. It affects 1-2 in 100 people worldwide, according to the Centres for Disease Control.

Some Misconceptions

In a world often divided by misconceptions and prejudice, a powerful ethos emerges, encapsulated in the phrase “Breaking Barriers, Building Bridges.” This rallying call champions unity, empathy, and understanding as essential tools to forge a more harmonious and inclusive society
