Why Should you even care about Autism in the first place?
Why should people and you know and care about people with Autism in the first place?
​
Yes, Why Should we care?
After Asking Some people in the field of special needs and Autism here were their responses
​
Sarah (Supervisor- EAP Malaysia)
" Ultimately we want to create greater awareness for Autism so that people with Autism can find acceptance and be integrated back into the society. Moreover, when people have a greater awareness about Autism they will be able to identify the red flags of Autism at an Earlier stage and be able to seek intervention earlier."
Charmaine (Supervisor & Intake and Assessment Coordinator - EAP Malaysia)
"Because we cannot be a society that is indifferent. At the core of the person is our capacity to care and show consideration for one another. This is what makes us human."
​
Why Should We Care?
Dr Ranjini-Pediatrics (Consultant Development Pediatrician)

"In order to ascertain this group of special needs children are accepted in the society equally like any other typically developing children."
​
Razin Murat- CEO of NASOM (National Autism Society of Malaysia)
"If people don’t know, they won’t pick out the brilliant minds of some Autistic people, Autistic people cannot do many things well, but can do a few things very well. They need things called biodiversity.
They need to know the challenges that they families face, how these people will live in the future like jobs,"
"They also want the country and its infrastructure to be Autism friendly."
"Unless the public is aware of this, who cares. No action will be taken to help these people"
Basically, it is so that we are able to understand and accept them into society. If we happen to meet anyone with Autism anywhere, we are able to understand that they are different and they should not be treated differently in any way
We need to make society much more Autism friendly. There are so many troubles that these people and their families have. There are so many times that where the people just stare at a parent’s child, or is unable to go to school because they cannot cope.
Autism is more common than you think and because of that there are so many family with children with Autism but sometimes due to no diagnosis may not even know that they even have Autism.
KENAPA ANDA KENA PENDULI TENTANG AUTISMA
Kenapa anda perlu tahu dan kisah tentang individu dengan autisma
​
Sarah Woo (Senior Supervisor- EAP Malaysia)
"Akhirnya kita ingin mewujudkan kesedaran yang lebih besar supaya individu dengan autisma boleh diterima dan diintegrasikan ke dalam masyarakat. Lebih lagi, jika orang mempunyai kesedaraan lebih tentang autisma, mereka akan dapat mengenal pasti gejala (red flag) Autisme pada masa awal dan boleh mencari bantuan awal
Charmaine (Supervisor & Intake and Assessment Coordinator - EAP Malaysia)
Ini kerana kita tidak boleh menjadi sebuah masyarakat yang suka membeza. Di dalam setiap orang ada kapasiti untuk menyayangi dan menunjuk balasan untuk orang lain. Ini menunjukkan kita ini manusia
​
Dr Ranjini-Pediatrics (Consultant Development Pediatrician) Specialty- Developmental Disorders"
​
Untuk memastikan golongan budak kurang upaya akan diterima dalam masyarat sama seperti budak yang sedang memaju
​
Razin Murat- CEO of NASOM (National Autism Society of Malaysia)
​
Jika orang tidak ambil tahu, mereka tidak dapat menerima minda bijak orang autisma. Individu Autisme tidak boleh melakukan banyak perkara, tetapi boleh membuat sedikit perkara dengan baik. Mereka memerlukan biodiversiti.
​
Mereka perlu tahu cabaran- cabaran yang dihadapi keluarga individu-individu ini dan cara kehidupan mereka dalam masa hadapan
​
Kita juga inginkan negara dan infrastruktur untuk menjadi "Autism Friendly" (Mesra Autisme)
​
Melainkan jika ramai orang sedar, siapa yang akan peduli? Tiada tindakan yang akan dilakukan untuk menolong individu individu ini."
​
​
Pada dasarnya , kita haruslah boleh memahami dan menerima mereka ke dalam masyarakat. Jika kita terjumpa sesiapa yang mempunyai Autisme di mana-mana, kita akan faham mereka bukan orang yang biasa dan mereka tidak harus dilayan dengan buruk.
​
Kita mesti membuat masyarakat lebih mesra Autisme, kerana terdapat banyak cabaran yang mereka dan keluarga mereka hadapi, Ada banyak kejadian yang membuat orang merenung kepada mereka, atau menyebabkan mereka tidak boleh pergi ke sekolah kerana perlakuan mereka.
​
Autisma lebih ketara daripada yang orang tahu. Oleh kerana ada banyak keluarga dengan kanak-kanak yang tidak didiagnosis mereka tidak tahu anak mereka mempunyai autisma.
