Kuala Lumpur: Park City Medical Centre (PMC) recently hosted Advancing Neurodiversity, a vibrant community event held in conjunction with Autism Awareness Month. The event brought together families, professionals, and advocates at Pusat Kreatif Kanak-Kanak Tuanku Bainun to promote early intervention, inclusion, and greater understanding of neurodivergent individuals.
According to BERNAMA News Agency, the spotlight was on Charlotte Cheng Tze Lin-an educator, artist, and successful entrepreneur-who shared her personal journey as a neurodivergent individual. "There wasn't much awareness or understanding about neurodivergence growing up, which made everyday life difficult," she recalled. Today, Charlotte runs a thriving artisanal chocolate business, turning her challenges into creative strengths. "Neurodivergence is not a flaw-it's simply a different way of experiencing the world."
