Nana Yaa Ohenewaa Kuffuor, daughter of Mary Amoah Kuffuor defying the chances despite the fight against autism
Mary Amoah Kuffuor, defender of autism, which is a neurological disorder which alters communication and interaction capacities, called for the creation of a Ghanaian society which embraces and accepts individuals living with autism.
In a statement aware of autism on the occasion of World Autism Day, on April 2, 2025, Mary Amoah Kuffuor, who has an autistic girl who challenges expectations despite her state, underlined the importance of promoting an inclusive society.
She explained that such a company, which embraces and recognizes the values, value and contributions of autistic individuals, will make significant progress to overcome stereotypes and promote a positive change.
Kuffuor also shared the difficulties associated with the medical condition, but said that the strong link within their family, as well as love and dedication to supporting his daughter, helped them overcome these challenges.
“But our trip was not without its difficulties. There were times when we felt isolated, misunderstood and outdated. Moments when we wondered if we do enough, if we make a difference. But through all this, our love for our daughter has remained constant.
“As a family, we are committed to accepting the challenges that accompany autism and supporting our daughter at each stage. We have learned to communicate in his language, to see the world through his eyes and to celebrate his unique gifts and talents, “she said in a statement.

Today, we are celebrating the World Autism Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness and promoting the acceptance of autistic individuals. As a parent of a beautiful autistic girl, I had a first row seat with challenges and joys that come with this trip.
Autism touched our family in a way that we could never have imagined. It put us on kneeling of frustration, but also at our feet to celebrate. It taught us patience, empathy and unconditional love. And this has shown us that with acceptance and support, autistic individuals can prosper.
But our trip was not without its difficulties. There were times when we felt isolated, misunderstood and outdated. The moments when we wondered if we do enough, if we make a difference. But through all this, our love for our daughter has remained constant.
As a family, we are committed to accepting the challenges accompanied by autism and supporting our daughter at each stage of the process. We have learned to communicate in his language, to see the world through his eyes and to celebrate his unique gifts and talents.
But we cannot do it alone. We need a community that accepts and includes autistic people. A community that recognizes their value, their value and their contributions. A community that offers possibilities for education, employment and socialization.
So, today, during World Autism Day, I invite you to join us to promote acceptance and inclusion. Decompos barriers, fuses of stereotypes and create a world where autistic individuals can prosper.
Let us show our love, our support and our commitment to autistic people. Let us celebrate their differences and recognize that they are not handicaps, but rather unique capacities.
Together, we can create a more accepting, more inclusive and more loving world. A world where autistic individuals can live, learn and prosper.
