Autism is a mental condition, present from early childhood, characterized by great difficulty in communicating and forming relationships with other people and in using language and abstract concepts.

Speaking during an awareness campaign held at Oworonshoki of Lagos State, Songwe said: “Today is the autism awareness Day, and we were charged to help support victim of autism by helping individuals understand what autism is”.
