Mammootty, Mohanlal, Kunchacko Boban, Jagadish, Menaka Suresh, Divya Unni and Nandu were among the celebrities who joined entrepreneurs, bureaucrats and artistes to talk about autism and its many aspects.
Organised by The Centre for Autism and other Disabilities Rehabilitation Research and Education (CADRRE), the series of videos, uploaded on their Youtube channel and social media, are meant to raise awareness on autism and the need to work towards an inclusive society.
G. Vijayaraghavan, honorary director of CADRRE, says the primary intention was to help viewers understand what was autism and how it manifests in different ways. “We felt the celebrities would catch eyeballs and since the messages were crisp, most people would listen to it before they moved on,” he says.
