ASP celebrated the 3rd World Autism Awareness Day with two simultaneous art exhibits from 9-11 April 2010.
“We at ASP believe that our children can lead full and meaningful lives. Our children simply need greater understanding and support,” said ASP National President Grace Adviento, during her welcome address at both opening ceremonies.

“Different people have a unique set of skills and talents. Autism should not be a hindrance to success. They even surpass abilities of other typical teen-agers,” said Daphne, a sibling support member.
