I am competing for Miss Autism Kenya.

My name is Naomi Njeri Mugo.I am a 22 years old born again Christian.I am a special needs educator by

profession.

I would like to change the world view that Autism is not just a disorder, but it is an exceptional ability

that needs to be embraced and nurtured.

When granted a chance I will work and use all possible medias to creat awareness and educate the

society about Autism Spectrum Disorders. I will collaborate with the multidisciplinary team to ensure

that people understand how to cope with Autism.

I will major on challenges such as social stigma and rejection through creating awareness. Social phobia

by encouraging parents and individuals with Autism to focus on the strengths and encourage social

interaction.

Acceptance as parents and the society together with early intervention is the key to maximize on these

exceptional abilities.
