She said: “Seven years ago, I came for the first time to the GTCO conference, like a lot of people looking for answers because I just started the autism journey with my son. We were looking for support and navigation. “At 18 months, he had fewer words, at 20 months, no words and by the time he started talking again, his speech ability degenerated and then we discovered it was regressive autism. He had lost all the skills that he had with his development and regressed into autism.”
“I am a keynote speaker and I go out to share my stories. I’ve written a book to teach children about autism and produced a documentary on navigating autism in Nigeria. I also go to communities to speak with parents about it.” She said: “Knowledge is critical and essential. I have followed the conference over time and there is always something to take away. One of the things I have realised in my journey is the ability to listen even when nothing is being said, so with all clarity of mind, these children are on their journey but they require time.
It will also feature free one-on-one consultations from scheduled to take place between 16 and 20 July at the Chapel of Light, Alausa Ikeja.
