REAL FAMILIES. REAL STORIES.
Voices of
Autism Africa.
Every story matters.
Every voice deserves
to be heard.
Voices of Autism Africa is a storytelling, education and advocacy initiative established by Straight From The Heart International Inc. to amplify the voices of parents, caregivers, autistic individuals and families across Africa.
Through personal stories, interviews, educational resources and expert conversations, we aim to reduce stigma, promote acceptance and understanding of Autism, empower families, and encourage inclusive communities.
Our initial focus is Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria.
Family Stories
Real experiences. Real hope. Interviews with parents, caregivers, autistic individuals and families, shared in their own words.
Our first story is just the beginning.
Our first family story is planned for December 10, 2026. Photographs, audio, video and transcripts will only be included according to each participant’s written consent.

AUTISM & I/DD EDUCATION
Understanding Autism and Other Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (I/DD)
Building Awareness, Understanding, Support, and Inclusion in Liberia
Straight From The Heart International Inc. (SFTH) is committed to educating families, caregivers, teachers, healthcare professionals, and communities about Autism and other intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD), including Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, and Fragile X syndrome.
Through our educational awareness initiatives, we aim to reduce stigma, correct misconceptions, promote early identification, and encourage access to appropriate healthcare, education, and family-support services.
A disability is not a curse, a punishment, or a reason for shame. Every child deserves love, dignity, understanding, and the opportunity to learn and thrive.
As part of our ongoing work in Liberia, SFTH is advancing the Liberia Autism Awareness and Early Screening Pilot Initiative, beginning with six communities in Monrovia.
Together, we are building a more inclusive Liberia, one family and one community at a time.
Expert Conversations
Knowledge, guidance and shared perspectives from people working toward inclusion.
Knowledge shared. Perspectives widened.
Planned conversations with healthcare professionals, behavior analysts, educators, therapists, autistic self-advocates and disability advocates.
