AREAS OF FOCUS

Autism Support

The Autism Organization Zimbabwe was formed in 2009 and registered in 2011 as a Private Voluntary Organization whose primary aim is the rehabilitation of children living with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), provision of skills training and support services as well as raising public awareness on issues affecting children or adults living with ASD for a better quality of life.

Autism is a lifelong developmental disability that affects the way a person communicates and relates to people around them. Children and adults with autism have difficulties with everyday social interaction. Their ability to develop friendship is limited as is their capacity to understand other people’s emotional expressions. People living with autism can often have accompanying learning disabilities but everyone with the condition shares difficulty in making sense of the world.
