‘We are an organization made up of parents and individuals who advocate understanding, compassion, and acceptance for persons/children with autism in our community. One of the goals of our organization is to develop an “Autism OK Antipolo” for our children. Autism is a life-long condition in which an individual struggles with social interaction with others. In addition, our organization is doing activities so that our children will have the opportunity to socialize and interact with others for their development and progress and at the same time enrich their skills and for their parents to find their children’s interests, the ASP said.
