THURSDAY, 14th October, 2021: Reality TV star, Uti Nwachukwu has urged youths between the ages of 15-30 to undergo an autism test.

In a series of tweets, Nwachukwu stated added that an experience with his younger friends necessitated his stand.
According to him, he encouraged his younger friends to take the test and almost all came back with result of autism spectrum.
He said, “I’m no specialist but I really think you should take an autism test if you are between the ages of 15-33.
“I see a pattern here – challenges with social skills/emotional intelligence, repetitive behaviours and nonverbal communications.
“The test is just to determine how your brain works. It doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with you.
“I got a few of my misunderstood younger friends to take the test and 8 out of 9 of them came back with an autism spectrum or tendencies result.
“Now communication is better and I love them even more. They are so unique!”
The World Health Organisation have also said that autism spectrum disorders are a diverse group of conditions characterised by some degree of difficulty with social interaction and communication.
