Autism is a highly variable neurodevelopmental disorder, which usually affects children at the early stages and presents among other things, great communication and emotional challenges for them.
Speaking at the event Juliet Ibrahim said “it is imperative for Ghanaians to be educated about ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) to stop the stigmatisation that is usually associated with autism".
It is sad that in Ghana, some people attribute autism to witchcraft, and in the process, ostracise the affected persons instead of providing an enabling environment for them to be able to gain crucial therapy which will give them the independence to assimilate into ‘conventional’ society, she added.
Naa Ashokor also raised concerns about the need to care for one another.
