From our visit to Nemasu Care Home Ms. Sirreh Saho shares her pride and joy in supporting her child and how she had to change her parenting tactics from traditional to tailored to her child’s needs. 💙
She further explains how every child is unique and deserves to be accepted.
Over the weekend, history was made as four autism organizations in The Gambia came together to form the Gambia Autism Societies (G.A.S.), a united alliance for advocacy, awareness, and inclusion.
Under the theme “Unity for Autism Advocacy in The Gambia”.
The work starts now!
This happens when a person receives more input than they can process, causing discomfort, anxiety, or distress. For example, a noisy, brightly lit room may overwhelm someone with sensory sensitivities, leading to headaches, nausea, or a fight, flight, or freeze response.

Ms. Sirreh Saho, during her visit to Nemasu Care Home, applauded the caregivers for dedicating themselves to children and adults with disabilities.
She also highlighted the need to see the world through the eyes of individuals with autism to better understand and support them.
Our founder, Ms. Sirreh Saho, paid a special visit to Nemasu Care Home, where she trained caregivers on practical and compassionate ways to better support the children, especially Junkunda, an inspiring child on the autism spectrum.

A recap of our first “JOTAI” which was a huge success! 🎉
We came together to shine light on the everyday realities of raising and supporting people on the autism spectrum.
This was more than an event, it was the start of a stronger, more understanding community!
#Autism
Autism is simply a different way some brains work. Embracing it as part of human diversity fosters empathy, inclusion, and spaces where everyone can thrive.
#AutismAcceptance#InclusionMatters
COMMUNICATION!‼️
When communicating with Autistic people, use clear, simple language, and allow extra time to respond. Respect different communication styles and avoid assumptions, each person is unique.
