Every year, 2 April is World Autism Awareness Day. This year, the Autism Resource Centre Singapore is celebrating World Autism Awareness over the entire month of April to celebrate autistic individuals . Here’s a look at a few things that are happening as we seek to build a more inclusive society in Singapore.


Streaming of Movies for World Autism Awareness Month 2021

For the month of April 2021, the Autism Resource Centre Singapore will be screening three movies which explore the world of autism and how differently abled individuals interact with others.

The first movie which is being streamed online is The Wayang Kids. The 2018 movie set in Singapore about a group of local primary school kids. The Brainchild Pictures shows how the students overcome different cultures and mother tongue languages to put up a performance. Within the group is a student named Open who has mild autism who leads his group of friends to stage the Chinese opera show.
