The rights of people with autism and ways to improve their education opportunities will take centre stage during an upcoming discussion to raise public awareness about the condition, says the organiser of the event.
Two seminars are being organised at the Palazzo Bangkok Hotel on Ratchadaphisek Road on Saturday, said the Autistic Thai Foundation (ATF).
