According to Autism South Africa, autism is a complex group of neurodevelopmental disabilities considered to be a spectrum as each person has different strengths, abilities and requires different types and levels of support.
The World Health Organisation reports that 1 in 100 children is autistic.
Today, we turn our attention to autism awareness.
Joining me now in studio is Leryke Kleynhans, a dedicated autism therapist from Autism South Africa, and Ayanda Larkin-Harrison, founder of Vuyolethu Haven, who joins us on Zoom.
Ayanda is also the mother of a child living with autism, and her personal connection to the cause drives her passion for creating positive change.
