Autism awareness in the United States is a prominent focus of autism organizations, parents, teachers, and professionals that work with individuals on the autism spectrum. However, autism awareness is an emerging trend in many parts of the world, include countries on the continent of Africa. Miss Ivory Coast, the mother of a child on the autism spectrum, is working to raise autism awareness in Africa through the Autism Community of Africa organization.

I am currently studying for Bsc Psychology and my project is on autism awareness in Zimbabwe. Please share with me what you have come across about Africans understanding autism. I feel there is a gap of knowledge about autism among Africans maybe am wrong.
Thanks
