Creating Awareness to Gain Support for People on the Spectrum
Autism Awareness
Previously, there was much stigma associated with being Autistic or having a family member with the condition.

That’s why it’s essential to create awareness and ensure proper education on the subject continually.
Hence the need to provide resources that aid understanding of the disorder. Besides social inclusivity, we must also afford them their rights as members of our communities. Another benefit adequate awareness and education gives us is it yields better outcomes. That’s because we can help to increase their quality of life through early evaluation and therapy.

Hence, we do that by organizing various means of educating individuals and communities. We also endeavor to provide adequate information for the benefit of everyone involved
