"Autism is not a disability, but rather a unique form of ability. It equips autistic children with exceptional perspectives, remarkable strengths, and an abundance of talents that they can leverage to understand and contribute meaningfully to society. When empowered with the appropriate support, guidance, and opportunities, there are no limitations to what these children can achieve. It is our shared duty, as parents and members of society, to nurture the inherent talents of autistic children and cultivate a secure environment that fosters their growth." 

Dr. Commander Kartikay Saini, an advocate

The ambience was further enriched by the soulful melodies of a saxophone performance. The guests actively participated in an immersive painting session, unleashing their artistic spirits by translating their emotions onto canvases with vibrant colors and expressive strokes. 

Note: The artwork created by the children with autism is available for purchase from 20th to 26th April at The Lobby Level, JW Marriott New Delhi.
