Information & Support

What is Autism?

Autism, also known as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects how people interact, communicate, learn, and behave. It is a spectrum disorder, which means it affects people in different ways and in varying degrees. It is a lifelong condition that usually starts showing symptoms in the first 2 years of life. Symptoms involve challenges or differences in social communication, motor skills, and intellectual and social abilities.

Advocacy and Awareness Priorities

Our goal is to create an inclusive community where all persons with autism experience and live a life to their full potential To achieve this, we aim to partner and collaborate with healthcare professionals, educators, NGOs as well as other community organisations sharing a similar vision.

For awareness, we are active on our social media where we educate people on autism and how to be a more inclusive community.

We host fundraising events, which bring people together and provides a network of friends and support. The funds raised are channelled back into the center to help develop more and better programs and services.
