Thank you to the incredible Prof. Willene Holness who unpacked the draft Disability Bill in an accessible engaging way at today's workshop. We salute her for ensuring that the draft bill was adapted intto an easy to read version - making it accessible to everyone. It was through her unrelenting lobbying that this was realized. This is a first in the history of legislation development in the country. We thank all our autistic people and our parents present for their insight and input today. All input was captured and will be included in Action in Autism's submission to the Law Reform Commission.

How wonderful is it when a truly committed human being, a paediatric neurologist to boot, spends her valentines day from 8.30am to 2.30pm attending to our community at the free diagnostic clinic hosted at Action in Autism. Dr. Anele Mkhize you are truly a blessing to us. We are deeply grateful to you for your service to our autistic constituency. Dr. Mkhize attended to 18 patients.
