‘Make malls friendlier to the autistic’

Mohd Shaiful hopes shopping centres will reduce their lighting and sound levels.

PARENTS of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) hope shopping centres will make their premises more ASD-friendly.

Pertubuhan Penggerak Kesedaran Austim Kinta Perak (Autism Rangers Ipoh) president Mohd Shaiful Rizal said he hoped that malls in Ipoh, and Perak in general, could come up with initiatives to allow children with ASD to visit the premises without triggering the condition.
