Diagnosing the signs and symptoms of autism in kids at an early stage and putting such kids through treatment and therapy can make them (kids) feel comfortable and manage autism better. This is the message medical and non medical professionals wish to convey on World Autism Awareness Day that is globally observed on 2 April.

In order to commemorate this day, Steps Rehabilitation Center which is a part of the Steps Groups hosted a training workshop for kids diagnosed with autism this morning.
