PETALING JAYA: It is high time for the country to have focused centres that cater to the needs of children with autism and its varying spectra through collaboration between the government and the private sector, says Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri.
The Women, Family and Community Development Minister said the move is crucial, especially with the high number of autistic children registered with the Welfare Department, which totalled 60,217 as of June 30.
