The Autism Society Philippines (ASP) is a national, non-profit org dedicated to the well-being of persons on the spectrum and the families who care for them.
#Autism
can be a disability. It has touched 1.3M Filipino families. It should be neither a joke nor an insult. It should not become fodder for partisan skirmishes between political supporters. Please reconsider your content

#Unforgettable
is about a young woman’s determined journey. It is a positive portrayal of one on the spectrum — w/o the tired exaggerations and stereotypes. It portrayed
#autism
in the context of Filipino family life; and gave the character dignity and enviable fortitude.
No offense, pero sana lahat ng kaibigan ng mga anak natin na may

Her portrayal was honest and heartfelt. We appreciate the absence of tired exaggerations and stereotypes. The character was kind, self-reliant and driven. Brava!

Autism or other disabilities should NOT be used as ammunition in the on-going political exercise. To use disability as a joke or insult does not elevate one's standing as a public servant. Leaders should protect the vulnerable -- not ridicule them.
A family advocacy! Thank you, Melanie Marquez, Manuel, Mazeen,
@michellemdee
and Adam for uplifting us all with your radiance and warm words of acceptance, accomodation and appreciation.

The response of

is ignorant of what autism is — even shaming the parent and questioning the child’s diagnosis. Disability sensitivity training and a compliance review to disability laws is needed here.

The Autism Society Philippines condemns the latest social media experiment called "The Boyet Challenge" (where participants mimic the title character from the soap opera
#myspecialtatay
) as thinly-veiled instruments of ridicule of those who live with

‘No problem with the title. We are concerned that the ridicule of persons with

is applauded on social media. May your content, instead of generate laughter at the expense of those with disabilities, inspire others to be better versions of themselves. Peace!

Please consider using social media to spread kindness and compassion. Your “Boyet Challenge” on YT mimicking a person with
