Problem

Like other neuro typical individuals, individuals with Autism deserve the right to be loved, accepted, included in all aspects of life such as education, employment, social life and contribute in the economic activities.

Situation

Although Autism Awareness has increased in Tanzania compared to even 5 years ago, more Awareness is required and needed. In 2021, the CDC US has reported that approximately 1 in 44 children in the US is diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), according to 2018 data. Boys are four times more likely to be diagnosed with Autism than girls. It is approximated that about 1% of the world population has Autism Spectrum Disorder – over 75,000,000 people.
