 Morning Crusie 2/22/24

Discussion with Autist Strong Academy


On February 22 2024, we had the opportunity to speak with Autist Strong Academy, a non-profit organisation resgistered last year is advocating for parents and children with autism in Mitchell's Plain. 
( Left to Right ) Matteo, Steevie, Ellen Jones, Tashreeqah Abdol, Zurayda Mervis, Khusi and Ikeraam Mullins.

They speak to us about Saturday February 10, they invited parents and their children to have an open discussion at the Northwood community centre in New Woodlands on the challenges and triumphs they face.

They also explained us the many challenges that parents must face to have their childrens diagnosed with autism and to find a school or clinic that accepts them. These challenges led to Autism Strong Academy NPO now advocating for parents and children with autism.
