NO CHAINS jaribu HUGS for AUTISM**

The concert to create AUTISM awareness....

Autism is a condition that affects a persons socialization, communication, and imagination. there no known causes of Autism bt according to research it affects more boys that gals. It is referred to as a Spectrum because there are various kinds of Autism.

In Kenya the condition is often referred to as mental handicap which is wrong because an Autistic persons brain capacity is much higher than a regular persons.

Autism Society of Kenya has however come in to correct the above misconception among others such as, the condition is caused by witchcraft, due to lack of understanding and misconceptions a lot of Autistic persons are either chained at home or living in mental institutions where they are mismanaged by being medicated. therefore the ASK aims at raising awareness about the condition and ensuring that a quality of life is achieved.
