In honor of Autism Awareness Month, observed every April, we speak with Millicent Maluleka, a passionate autism activist, about the importance of understanding and accepting autistic individuals. Millicent shares insights on the challenges faced by those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a developmental disability caused by differences in the brain. She highlights the significance of World Autism Awareness Day, observed on April 2, and emphasizes the need for global awareness, empathy, and inclusion in our communities.
