Autism is not something to fix — it’s a different way of experiencing the world.

Let’s move beyond awareness to acceptance, inclusion, and understanding. Listen to autistic voices. Support neurodiversity.

with SidebySide, this day is about raising awareness about autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and how to ensure children with autism are identified early so they can get the help they need.

🟨People with ASD may struggle with communication with others and with social interactions. Having special interests in something quite specific or having specific or repetitive ways of behaving are also part of having ASD. Some people with ASD find too much noise or certain sensations on their skin overwhelming.

🥼It can help to get a diagnosis of ASD to understand your child's needs better as ASD can affect your child’s performance at school or in group activities such as play or sports. However, everyone is not the same, and the support needs of people with ASD are not the same. Some people may need long-term support and care and others live independently.

🏫Once your child has received their diagnosis; you can then approach the closest district of education to you. This could be the district that is closest to where you live, or to where you work.

⚠️Remember, evidence shows that childhood vaccines do not increase the risk of ASD.

with SidebySide. More children are missing their vaccines, which puts them at risk of getting sick from diseases like measles and rubella.

Signs of measles:
🔴 High fever
🔴 Rash
🔴 Runny nose
🔴 Red eyes
🔴 Sore throat

🔍 Watch for a red rash that starts on the face and spreads to the rest of the body.

💉 Vaccines can protect your child—make sure they are up to date.

👩🏾‍⚕️ If you think your child has measles, take them to a clinic or doctor for a test.

🫱🏻‍🫲🏾 Let’s work together to keep every child in South Africa safe and healthy through vaccination.
