This term, introduced by Edward O. Wilson in his 1984 book, encapsulates the essence of our inherent love and affinity for the natural world. It suggests that since we evolved amidst the flora and fauna, it is in these surroundings that we find our truest sense of peace and belonging.

Autism or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), is a complex developmental condition that typically appears during early childhood and  affects a person’s social interaction, communication, interests and behaviour. It is called a spectrum disorder because it can manifest in a wide range of symptoms and severity levels, hence the phrase “spectrum". Some individuals with autism may have relatively mild symptoms, while others may have more severe challenges that significantly impact their daily functioning.
