It will take more than a village to meet the key needs of persons with disabilities (PWDs) through life. All hands need to be on deck to create a society like no other - public, people and private sectors; PWDs, families, professionals organisations, individual volunteers.

Ahead of World Autism Day, this Autism Enabling Masterplan was officially released yesterday. It was the 2-year hard heart work of a team from Autism Resource Centre with contributions of more than 500 individuals and organisations; acknowledging the strong support and hitherto good work of non-profit members of Autism Network Singapore.

I had always encouraged each major disability group to get together and identify, prioritise, get society aware and involved to help execute top needs together. It’s always easier said than done, amidst the busyness and daily challenges of life - but possible!

To everyone who made this small piece of the tapestry possible, thank you.

Grateful.
