What is Autism
A condition appearing in a range of forms and levels of severity, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder that shows signs by the age of 3. Most autistic children look just like other kids but they act and react in ways that deviate from behaviors of other children. Our organization's aim is to help these children, wherever they are, and alleviate their daily life through play and special programs.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), based on a 2021 research among US children, the overall ASD prevalence was 1 in 44 children aged 8 years, and ASD was 4.2 times as prevalent among boys as among girls.
ASD affects children of all races, ethnic groups, and geographical locations around the world. This highlights the importance of offering relevant rehabilitative programs to these children and their families. Our organization was founded precisely for this cause.
Autism is a condition that exists on a spectrum. In some children can be a diminished interest in other people's company. In others, it could be a complete lack of interaction with or awareness of other people.
