Busting Autism Myths

It is such a great honor for me to be given the opportunity to collaborate with ASP National Secretary, Ms. Mona Magno-Veluz, on this article published today in Manila Bulletin. 

The word “autism” and its derivatives have been used erroneously in colloquialisms so often that many of our countrymen are confused about what it is and what it is not. While there are “classic” autism markers, the condition is also a spectrum disorder, making each and every case unique. This may make autism difficult to understand for someone who has never known anyone with the condition.

ASP national secretary Mona Magno-Veluz collaborates with Cebu-based Hannah Dimaronsing on this week's Angel Talk. Hannah is an IT industry professional whose blog HannDs-on-Mama (http://hannds-on-mama.blogspot.com) is an homage to her children and a venue for her autism advocacy.
