The First Lady, Sen. Oluremi Tinubu, has said that early detection of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) can help people on the autism spectrum reach significant gains in their abilities.
This is contained in a message the first lady sent on World Autism Awareness Day, marked every year on April 2.
"I also recognise the crucial role of community organisations in providing support, resources, and opportunities for individuals with autism and their families. "I urge parents and caregivers to be attentive to developmental milestones and seek professional help if any concerns arise." "We can create a world where individuals, irrespective of who they are and whatever challenges they face in life, are empowered, included, and celebrated for their unique gifts," she said.
