The Blissful Cookies project creates an opportunity for individuals with autism to engage in community-benefiting activities. In this project, participants will attend two workshops, each involving 5-6 individuals with autism, where they will learn and practice baking cookies. The cookies made will be sold at local fairs to raise funds for children with disabilities.

The project is supported and coordinated by Vietnam’s Autism Projects (VAPs).

Goals and Purpose of the Project:

Individuals born with autism often face challenges in social communication, making it difficult for them to make friends and engage with others. In society, autism is often misunderstood, and people with autism are frequently distanced or isolated. They are typically seen as patients in need of help, and while they do receive support, this dynamic often pushes them further away from the community.

Blissful Cookies was created with the aim of providing new opportunities and experiences for individuals with autism, as well as helping them connect with the community by actively participating and contributing to society. The project strives to create a more inclusive world where individuals are accepted and loved for who they are, and where issues like school bullying and discrimination against those who are different can be overcome.
