The Autism Society Philippines (ASP) is a national, non-profit organization dedicated to the well-being of persons on the autism spectrum disorder. We envision a society where Filipinos on the spectrum become the best of their potentials -- self-reliant, independent, productive, socially-accepted citizens of an Autism-OK Philippines.

"Budoy" - awareness? or a vehicle for the bullies?

"Yesterday, my daughter said "Hi" to a group of students from one school (not hers) when she passed them. They said "Hi", back to her... BUT... then they added "Hi. I am Budoy".
What could have been a profound moment of acceptance for special-needs children turned into bullying.

So what does this teleserye really accomplished?"

My Hope ... is for the Media to be a powerful vehicle of support for PWDs. Famous media personalities could have been a very big voice for awareness...
