CENTURION - According to the Global Burden of Disease study, almost 62 million people across the world are on the Autism Spectrum.

Government is pushing for early diagnosis and intervention on World Autism Awareness Day.
Managing director of Optimi Learning, Louise Schoonwinkel unpacked this with eNCA.
