Autism Spectrum Disorder, including conditions like Asperger's Syndrome and Pervasive Developmental Disorder-NOS, poses unique challenges for individuals and their families. Many children face social interaction difficulties, communication impairments, and repetitive behaviors. With an alarming statistic of 8,000 individuals waiting for support, there is a pressing need for awareness and resources. Families are left grappling with the future, worrying about care after their loved ones' passing. This project explores these challenges and emphasizes the importance of community and compassion in addressing autism.
