Executive Summary The Third Country Training Programme (TCTP): Knowledge Creation Forum on Community-based Inclusive Development 2015 (Capacity-building of Persons with Autism and their Parents) was organized by the Asia-Pacific Development Center on Disability (APCD), in collaboration with the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and the Thailand International Cooperation Agency (TICA) of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Thailand, with support from the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security of Thailand (MSDHS). Twenty youth with autism and their parents, as well as four Personal Assistants from ASEAN countries including Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam participated actively in the historic, first of its kind international training at the APCD Training Building in Bangkok, Thailand from 12 to 25 July 2015. Collectively, the Training participants were able to create new information and knowledge on leisure, recreation and sport through experience sharing, expertise and wisdom exchange on various autism-friendly activities to develop their capacity, as well as valuable time spent together. The resource persons included Mr. Nobunao Kinugawa (Autism Society Japan), Mr. Michael Schultze (Association for Autism in Lao PDR) and six Thai resource persons with intensive experiences in the relevant field. Young leaders with autism and their parents from different ASEAN countries got unique knowledge and experiences, and developed their capacities through autism-friendly activities. Moreover, the Training provided participants an opportunity to learn the perspective of persons with hearing loss and intellectual disabilities by exchanging new information and knowledge on hearing loss and intellectual disability. The learning outcomes were elaborated during the "Consensus Building" session. Training participants agreed to have several autism-friendly activities from the classes to enjoy their participatory activities in the next AAN Congress to be conducted in the Philippines. An action plan and country report were presented by each group of particpants per country. Furthermore, the Bangkok Recommendations on Recreation, Leisure and Sports for Persons with Autism in the ASEAN region was presented and unanimously adopted by Training participants as a consensus, particularly concerning the next proposed Congress in January 2016.

The Training concluded with a memorable closing ceremony by demonstrating an inclusive and friendly recreation based on the learning from the Training, following with the reading of the Bangkok Recommendations by all self advocates with autism, awarding of Training certificates and closing remarks by representatives from JICA, TICA and MSDHS, respectively. Finally, participants exchanged contacts and souvenirs for future networking, and captured final memories together through group photo sessions.
Key Outcomes 1. Young leaders with autism and their parents were provided with great opportunities to exchange various autism-friendly activities on recreation, leisure and sport from ASEAN countries and Japan. 2. In accordance with the participants’ consensus, at least four autism-friendly activities from the international Training (friendly rules/competition, award) will be presented in the 3rd ASEAN Autism Network (AAN) Congress in the Philippines. 3. Country reports on the autism movement of each country and action plans for implementation at the community level were developed and presented. 4. The Bangkok Recommendations on Recreation, Leisure and Sports for Persons with Autism in the ASEAN region was developed and adopted. 5. Networking among young leaders with autism, their parents and resource persons from Southeast Asia and Japan was strengthened. 6. The outline of the next AAN Congress has been drafted by the participants as their consensus.

Bangkok Recommendations on Recreation, Leisure and Sports for Persons with Autism in the ASEAN region We, the representatives with autism, their parents and resource persons from Cambodia, Japan, Lao PDR, Myanmar, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam, in total 26 persons, participated in the Third Country Training Programme: Knowledge Creation Forum on Community-based Inclusive Development 2015 (Capacity-building of Persons with Autism and their Parents) by the Asia-Pacific Development Center on Disability (APCD), the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and the Thailand International Cooperation Agency (TICA), with support from the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security of Thailand, from 12 July to 25 July, 2015 in Bangkok, Thailand. Noting that a basis has been built as a result of the Training to accelerate the regional movement on recreation, leisure and sports through the platform of the ASEAN Autism Network (AAN), we hereby unanimously recommend as follows: Attention should be paid to persons with autism and their parents in developing laws and policies in each of ASEAN Member States, taking into consideration that the topic of autism is relatively new in some Southeast Asian countries; With support from AAN members, the findings and consensus on recreation, leisure and sports during the Training should be reflected in the next AAN Congress in the Philippines, and other activities which could be organized in Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam, with an emphasis on a participatory way among persons with autism and their parents through their organizations.
Presented and unanimously adopted at the Third Country Training Programme: Knowledge Creation Forum on Community-based Inclusive Development 2015 (Capacity-building of Persons with Autism and their Parents) 24 July 2015, Bangkok, Thailand
