Changing the Attitude of Autism Abroad by Educating Families
The Solution: A dynamic online resource for families to consult if their child is formally or informally diagnosed with autism
•Help with informal self-diagnosis via basic checklist
•Educational resources for the disorder to curb the mentality that autism is a fatal and hopeless disease, which needs “curing”
•Forum for families in similar situations to interact with one another
•Success stories of autistic individuals, who have conquered social stigma
The Problem: The attitude and stigma associated with autism is in dire need of reform particularly in third world countries of Africa and Asia.
•40% registered Nigerian nurses attribute autism to supernatural causes such as spirits or the devil
•Social stigma and lack of government acceptance in countries such as India and China prevent families from taking much needed early intervention procedures

Problem: Less than 0.1% of over 1 million engineering students gets world class education or hands on learning in India. A huge pool of talents is wasted due to lack of proper resources, guidance and global exposure.
