it is great that more and more people are aware of autism and are more understanding. however, there is still plenty of room for improvement.
the VWO that i am working at, Students Care Service, is organising a mandarin Seminar on Autism Spectrum Disorder cum Photo Exhibition with this aim in mind. For all interested, please see below for more info. please also help to pass on this info to others whom you think will benefit from this seminar as mandarin seminars are rather rare locally.
