Autism Awareness Month; Mr & Miss Autism to Spotlight Talented Kids Living with Autism

In an inspiring episode of the UNPACKIN segment, the Mr. and Miss Autism team are making a powerful impact during Autism Awareness Month. Dr. Ewuradjoa shared valuable insights about Autism, emphasizing the importance of early detection and support for children exhibiting symptoms between the ages of 2 and 3.

Dr. Ewuradjoa also highlighted the significance of psychological help and training for parents of children with Autism, providing them with the tools and understanding to navigate the unique challenges they may face. This support is crucial in creating a nurturing environment for both the parents and the children.

Afi Antonio, a remarkable member of the team and founder of the Afi Antonio Foundation, expanded her foundation's focus to include Autism, demonstrating her commitment to Health, Education, and Women Empowerment. Afi's journey began by helping a young child with Autism become a photo model, which opened her eyes to the discrimination faced by individuals living with Autism. Determined to make a difference, they came up with the Mr. and Miss Autism contest.

This innovative contest aims to showcase the incredible talents of kids living with Autism and break down barriers by fostering inclusivity and understanding. The contest is scheduled to take place at the 3Music Tv premises on Saturday, 27th April at 10:00am. Afi Antonio warmly invites everyone to attend and witness the extraordinary abilities of these remarkable individuals.

The Mr. and Miss Autism contest promises to be an event filled with joy, inspiration, and celebration. It's an opportunity for the community to come together and support these talented individuals, raising awareness about Autism and promoting acceptance.
