Autism World CIC is launching a new campaign focused on Autism Diagnosis. This initiative aims to improve awareness and understanding of the autism diagnosis process, ensuring that individuals and families receive timely support and clear guidance. The campaign will address common challenges faced in seeking an autism diagnosis and promote better access to services. Through educational resources, community engagement, and collaboration with healthcare providers, we strive to empower individuals and families throughout the diagnostic journey, fostering early intervention and long-term support.
Our goal is to demystify the autism diagnosis process, break down barriers to accessing assessments, and promote greater awareness around the signs and steps involved in getting a diagnosis. By increasing public understanding, we aim to ensure that no one feels lost or unsupported in navigating their path toward diagnosis.
