Autism is often regarded as being swept under the rug. Few people reportedly want to talk about it, either because of not knowing how to broach the subject or due to a lack of knowledge in having a proper discourse.

A new streetwear initiative in Malaysia is now seeking to change that. The Autism Streetwear Project wants to "rebrand" the condition so that it does not remain a taboo subject – instead, giving it a more welcomed identity.
