Apognaba joins fight against autism stigmatization in Miss Upper East 2019.

The numerous myths associated with the mental developmental disorder, autism has become an unceasing misery to many families in Ghana. Wikipedia defines this health condition, which could also be referred to as intellectual disability as a developmental disorder characterized by difficulties with social interaction and communication, and by restricted and repetitive behavior.

Though clearly stated and proven to be just a disorder of the intellect, many still choose to attach many spiritual interpretations to it. Due to this, they tend to stigmatize, humiliate, abuse and in most cases completely isolate victims of such conditions.Read also: Miss Yaa Asantewaa 2019 contestants, check them out.
