KUALA LUMPUR, April 16 — With the number of diagnoses of autism spectrum disorder in Malaysia rising from the previous year, civil societies have called for the end of discrimination against those afflicted with neurological and developmental disorders.
“Here teachers play an important role in educating other children about acceptance and behaving in a non-discriminatory way towards children living with autism. The latest annual figure from the Health Ministry for 2021 showed a total of 589 children aged 18 and below being diagnosed with ASD, which is an increase of 5 per cent from 562 children in 2020.
Separately, Malaysian Council of Child Welfare president Datuk Dr Raj Karim said it was crucial to know about autism since it is a multifactorial problem that affects every child differently.
