Non-governmental organization in Trinidad and Tobago From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Autistic Society of Trinidad and Tobago (ASTT) is a non-governmental organization for families of autistic people in Trinidad and Tobago. It was founded in May 1990 by Teresina Sieunarine and a few families.[1][2] Sieunarine's son was diagnosed with autism in Florida, but on returning to Trinidad she found that there was stigma facing people with disabilities and that some autistic children were living in hospitals.[2] As of April 2013[update], more than 450 families were registered with the society.[3] The ASTT designates April autism awareness month.[4][5]
