He also called on autistic parents to continue to believe in their autistic children with a sense of compassionate love and passion.

More Campaigns
He went further to advice on the need to further take the campaign to churches, mosque, schools and communities at the grass root, where people would begin to have a clear insight of Autism in the language they can understand.
“It is indeed a wonderful experience meeting several other Autistic advocacy groups, but we need to do more if we must realize our dream of an autism / neuro-inclusive world.
However, FEMHF can seized this opportunity to seek for more collaboration with several more Autism groups” Mr Effah said.
The colorful occasion was centered on promoting the need for an autism-inclusive world.
