What a wonderful turnout to Secunda ASD Support Group's Autism Awareness Walk this year.

It's wonderful to see so many people together showing autism acceptance and support for families. Autism awareness and acceptance are crucial because they foster understanding, compassion, and inclusivity within our society. By raising awareness about autism, we can debunk misconceptions and stereotypes, promoting a more accurate understanding of the diverse experiences of individuals on the spectrum.

Thank you to everyone who made the day possible and to Genade Shoppie for the sponsorship of the prize for the best dressed.
