It also enhances scientific research and regional cooperation by encouraging scientific research on autism, supporting studies that enhance understanding of the nature of this disorder and effective intervention methods, strengthening partnerships between Arab countries to exchange experiences and best practices in the field of supporting individuals with autism, and organizing scientific conferences and seminars that highlight the latest developments in the field of autism. On the occasion of World Autism Day, ALECSO affirms its continued commitment to working to promote the rights of individuals with autism and achieving their full integration into society, through developing sustainable policies and specialized educational curricula, and enhancing scientific research and regional and international cooperation in this field. On this important day, ALECSO calls on all actors in society to raise awareness about autism through awareness campaigns and community initiatives, support programs and projects that aim to improve the quality of life of individuals with autism and their families, and work to implement more comprehensive policies that ensure the full integration of individuals with autism in various areas of life. Together, for a more equitable and inclusive world for individuals with autism.
