A Mother's Wish (AMW) is a enterprise that helps autisric individuals (including those with profound autism) by educating and training family and professional caregivers, as well as advocacy. A Mother's Wish (AMW) is a registered social enterprise that organises and subsidises engaging and meaningful activities for individuals with moderate to severe autism (aged six and above) during the school h
olidays. Our dream is to create a lifelong community that provides affordable activities for autistic youths and adults with moderate to severe autism all year round, all across the island, even after their primary caregivers have passed on. To date, we have been subsidising AMW's holiday programme activities in order to cap each activity per participant at $40, while compensating the service providers, coordinators, and venue hosts adequately. We have raised money primarily through the sales of water colour paintings by Jean-Sebastien Choo, an untrained and unguided artist with autism. He contributes 30% of all sales to AMW. They range in price from $100 to $800; more than 100 paintings have been sold in the last three years. Sebastien is also an AMW participant; thus, he has been doing his part to contribute to the building of the AMW community for his future. For more information:
