WAF thanks Oasis Place, Best Buddies Malaysia, IDEAS Autism Centre and Challenges Foundation for attending our first networking event, Connect The Dots. Special thanks to Autism Cafe Project for accommodating us and being apart of it too, with everyone sharing their inspiring and motivating stories.
