Dear Friends,

April is Autism Awareness Month. It specially focuses to highlight the growing need for support and awareness about autism. Autism is a neurobiological disorder that impairs the ability to communicate and socialise.

Boys are four times more likely than girls to suffer from Autism.

This disability is also considered to be the fastest growing development disability in the world.

This month is a special opportunity to educate the public about autism and issues challenged by the autism community.

Please remember, we can together make the difference and improve the lives of all autism children.

If you notice or hear about any fundraising events, volunteering and awareness campaign, please extend your hands and join to support.

My support is through my dedicated poem and a poster “Be aware. Be understanding”. Thanks to you all in advance.

“Autism is a disorder of neural development

Family is the source of treatment

Education programs and behaviour therapy in early life

Help autistic children to acquire self-care and social life

We all should work together to increase awareness

Will help autism children to show their receptiveness

I promise to participate endlessly

Wish everyone to donate generously

Please spread the awareness

And show your kindness”
