MES Indian School observed World Autism Day recently. As a part of the activity, blue ribbons, the primary colour designated for autism and associated with calmness and acceptance, were distributed by the Psychology students of Grade XII. This gesture was aimed to raise awareness about autism and show support for individuals on the autism spectrum within the school community. The students organised an awareness session. A talk show by senior students to support and understand autism in children was relayed through the school’s public address. Harleen Kaur, Irene Thomas and Fashna Abdul Samad from the Department of Guidance and Counselling co-ordinated the event.
