Autism and Humanity – Every Life Has Value

Contd from last Saturday
The rate of autism in all regions of the world is high and the lack of understanding has a tremendous impact on the individuals, their families and communities. We have to learn more about the issue and stop discrimination or stigma against those who are facing it.
These people are special and we must be cautious when dealing with them.
They too have human rights and should not be deprived of any rights.
This WAAD lets us celebrate the inherent dignity and worth of all autistic people. The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities makes it obvious that all of us, despite neurodiversity or other differences, are members of the human family, allowed to enjoy the entire range of human rights.
People with autism have the right to the delight of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health.
Together we can make a difference when we think positively.
