Jill
Stacey - National Director of Autism South Africa joined us on the line to talk about Autism. April marks Autism month and it
is reported that globally one in every 110 children is diagnosed with Autism and
according to Autism Western Cape, boys are more likely to develop it than girls as they receive the diagnosis four times more frequently. Autism is a general term used to describe a group of complex developmental
brain disorders known as Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD). It is a
lifelong, complex condition also known as Autism Spectrum Disorder. Autism
South Africa strives to establish a sustainable network of educators and
facilitators that can work together to raise the profile of Autism Spectrum
Disorder (ASD ),
and improve the availability of beneficial services to those affected by ASD .
