About Us
Over the years, individuals with autism have faced numerous challenges, including limited educational opportunities, societal stigma, difficulties in finding employment, social exclusion, a lack of understanding, and limited access to support and resources. Nonetheless, awareness has been raised, inclusivity has been promoted, and advocacy for the rights and well-being of individuals with autism has progressed. Despite the progress made, a significant gap remains in employability, earning a livelihood, and functioning in society to their full potential. It is crucial that we address this gap to ensure that individuals with autism and special needs can lead fulfilling and independent lives, support themselves, and participate fully in their communities.
