Yes, I absolutely support this bill.I have recently pioneered a campaign online on Autism spport in developing countries especially Nigeria.As we know,there is no established record system and tools for screening and diagnosis for this condition.
We need to act fast and provide early intervention to these children,although no cure or its major cause have been found till date,but researchers and specialist around the world are working round the clock to unravell this mystery of this present time.
Here in our Motherland, because it is not an absolute medical condition or problem,families in Nigeria are yet to discover,understand and cope to what is seemingly considered as a spiritual, mental or a diabolic condition or circumstance.
Act now....let's grow Autism awareness and act fast on Early Intervention for these children and their families.
Thank you,
