New Zealand Autism Spectrum Disorder Guideline - Ministry of Health

Part 8
Pacific peoples’ perspectives
“Being a parent to a son
with autism, is about the
importance of having
our son being part of
and being accepted for
who he is in a number of
communities, not just our
own nuclear family, but
extended family, school,
church communities and
wider community in
general. It really does take
a village to raise a child.”
