Increasing Awareness, Acceptance, and Inclusivity – from our Board Member, Dr Nurhidayati M Suphan
April is World Autism Month, dedicated to increasing awareness about Autism Spectrum Disorder.
The United Nations General Assembly unanimously declared 2nd April as World Autism Awareness Day to highlight the need to improve the quality of life of those with autism, so they can lead full and meaningful lives as an integral part of society.
The autism community needs acceptance, more crucially, from society at large. Acceptance can lead to greater support, which is necessary for autistic people to reach their full potential.
Based on a true story, my niece wrote her first book, to help create awareness on autism amongst children. We hope we can facilitate acceptance at a younger age, so that our society may grow into a more inclusive society.
On 31st August 2025, a total of 56 CaringSG members — caregivers and their loved ones with physical, intellectual, and neurological impairments — came together at NTUC Club’s multipurpose hall, Singpost Centre to celebrate the last day of August with a BIG Sports and Wellness Bang!
Teaching children about sexuality and healthy relationships is never an easy task, and for parents of children with intellectual disabilities and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), the challenges can feel even more overwhelming. To support caregivers on this journey, CaringSG recently hosted a webinar featuring expert insights and heartfelt sharing from both a professional and a parent, offering practical guidance, reassurance, and hope.
On 11 August 2025, 62 participants — including caregivers, persons with disabilities (PwDs), and their family members and loved ones, volunteers and CaringSG team — came together for a memorable SG60 celebration at Bird Paradise, Mandai.
On 3 August 2025, CaringSG proudly joined the nation in commemorating Singapore’s 60th birthday at the National Day Istana Open House (NDIOH).
On 12 July 2025, CaringSG celebrated Volunteer Appreciation Day with heartfelt gratitude and joy. Marking five years of empowering caregivers, the event honoured the volunteers who have been the heart of our mission. From touching performances and meaningful awards to laughter, cake, and connection — it was a celebration of care in its truest form.
