Young advocate shares her journey with sibling
The day celebrates individuals living with autism and the richness and potential of their lives.
Autism doesn't only affect the quality of life for those living with it but it also affect those around them, especially friends and families.
Most communities, especially black families are not well informed to fully accept and care for an individual with autism.
ENCA had a sit-down with a 17 year old matriculant and youth pastor who has an autistic younger brother and is passionate about the cause.
Autism Awareness Campaigner, Hadassah Bongakonke says this challenge has brought her and her brother even closer.
