The Autism Awareness Campaign Sri Lanka was set up by parents and carers Ivan And Charika Corea in 2003 , to lobby for public services of health, education, specialist speech therapy and respite care for all people with Autism and Asperger's Syndrome on the island. They say there are 30,000 autistic children in Sri Lanka . Many are being kept at home. There are only a handful of schools who take in autistic children. Sri Lankan Superstar they say was autistic. How many in the audience know that there are 38,000 autistic people in Sri Lanka? So we as entertainers, urge you all to ‘speak up for those who cannot speak up for themselves.’ Lets spread awareness of autism, particularly when numbers of autistic children are rising and we urge our government to also provide public services – who knows we may even produce Albert Einsteins if we provide education, health, specialist speech therapy for autistic children in our lovely island.' One of Sri Lanka's greatest singer/songwriters Nimal Mendis is also supporting this important campaign. AUTISM AWARENESS CAMPAIGN LINKS SEE ALSO |
