It’s 2021, inclusivity and visibility are no longer just buzzwords but a lens we have to use to view and question everything around us. In the bright and shiny metropolis of Singapore, where we are obsessed with the rat race more than we care to admit, have we done enough to be a truly inclusive society?

World Autism Day on 2 April 2021, we speak to
Jacelyn Lim, Executive Director of
Autism Resource Centre to learn more about autism in Singapore and how we can do more as a society.
Besides being one of the leading not-for-profit charity organisations, the Autism Resource Centre also runs the various Professor Brawn outlets across Singapore. Professor Brawn Cafe is more than just a cafe; it functions as a realisation of an inclusive workspace where they employ differently-abled individuals to fulfil the various roles. Such an endeavour does not come without its challenges, so here’s to more inclusive workspaces and a society that caters to all individuals.
