The film tells the story of a young boy growing up with autism and the impact of the condition on his family as they raise him.
According
to the
WHO, 1 in 160 children live with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)
worldwide. In Nigeria, however, the condition is hardly diagnosed,
rarely understood and children with ASD often suffer neglect and
stigmatization. To address these challenges, GTBank launched the Orange
Ribbon Initiative to support children and adults living with Autism and
other developmental disorders.
The
film, “The mother knows” was designed to help Speak up against the
stigmatisation of people living with Autism and other developmental
disorders.
