I am a teacher in my Nigerian community. In my school I have noticed a boy who seems different from the rest of them. He learns, but the approach is different from others.
He is such a great kid with a kind heart, but he doesn’t talk but he murmurs. I’m getting to imagine an awareness around here and how appreciated he would feel.
How could anyone be against a day that raises awareness and celebrates the accomplishments of people on the Autism spectrum?
I wish the awareness evolves into something that can help meet the individual needs of people with ASD.
Since there is a wide spectrum of the experience.
I am not very knowledgeable about the education system in your community. Are there any speech/language experts available to provide services? If not, there are many online. I hope that some day @steemiteducation will be able to be a resource for situations just like the one you are describing.

Language experts you say, w don’t have them around this place I am. Even if we do there are just a few of them.
I’ll surely read through that link.
Thank you
