Welcome to The Nigerian Autistic Society

We are dedicated to tackling autism in Nigeria


What is AUTISM?

This is the term used to describe one of the most severe and distressing forms of mental disorder affecting one in every hundred and fifty new born child. However, this international Statistic has gone up. Autistic children suffer severe learning problems which impede their capacity to interpret and understand the everyday messages from the world around them; words, gestures, signs, numbers, letters and even love. 

After childhood, they are characterised  by unusual speech patterns and unusual  self-imposed isolation. Outwardly attractive in appearance,their lives appear to alternate between periods of mysterious gaiety and the deep distress of the lost and frightened. 

We are appealing to the world,both the private organisations and the churches at large to give support, so we can provide autistic people the proper kind of treatment which will offer them a respectable life and ensure their right to express through creative activities.
