Milestones

Some data has shown a significant increase in autism diagnoses in recent years. There are thousands of playgrounds, but I believe a minority of them are suitable for special needs/autistic children. I would like the government to fund the building of special needs/autism friendly playgrounds.

I believe this is something that the government needs to do to provide safety to the children with special needs and reassurance to their parents where there is less risk of them feeling judged by other parents because of how their special needs children behave. I think they will be places of freedom for special needs children with low risks of getting hurt, and a way for all special needs children to have fun together along with parents who understand one another.
