Supporting Families On Their Autism Journey

Here’s a good thing you need to know: For almost 40 years, long before the awareness of neurodivergence became mainstream, the National Autism Society of Malaysia has been providing lifespan services to people with autism, including their families and caregivers. We speak to the chairman Julian Wong about NASOM’s work over the years, the people who breathe life into their services, and what keeps them going.
