BACKGROUND Why Does The London School of Public Relations-Jakarta care about Autism? The London School of Public Relations – Jakarta (LSPR) an Institution for higher education which offers communication study programme was triggered to conduct a campaign on Autism awareness and educate the public on how to care about Autism. Therefore, the campaign was initiated in 2008 and will continue as part of LSPR’s community relations and educational programs for the Indonesian public to gain knowledge/information. The main slogan of the campaign is “LSPR Cares for Autism” and all the programs are implemented and led by a special division of The London School Centre for Autism Awareness (LSCAA), established and founded by Ibu Prita Kemal Gani in July 2008. Current data released by UNESCO indicates that the number of Autistic Children has increased over the last 10 years. Out of every 1000 Indonesians 8 are Autistic which shows that the number of cases in Indonesia is higher than the world statistics of 6 in every 1000. (Radius & Mulyadi, 2011) Thus, there is a greater need for support to create autism awareness and programs in Indonesia must be increased and implemented.
