It was formally organized during the ASEAN Autism Workshop in Bangkok on 13 to 15 December 2010 by representatives from nine countries, namely Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. In 2016, Singapore formally joined AAN as an Executive Member. AAN envisions an inclusive, rights-based, and autism-friendly ASEAN community. It commits to support, assist, facilitate and enhance autism-related family support groups in collaboration with other stakeholders in the ASEAN region and globally. United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) Article 30 states the right of persons with disabilities to participate in cultural life, recreation, leisure and sport. In compliance with the article, the 4th AAN Congress: ASEAN Autism Games (AAGs) was held in October 2018 in Jakarta, Indonesia, on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of establishment of diplomatic relations between Japan and Indonesia. The AAGs was organized by the Yayasan Autisma Indonesia (YAI), London School of Public Relations (LSPR), the ASEAN Autism Network (AAN), the Asia-Pacific Development Center on Disability (APCD), in collaboration with the Ministry of Social Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security (MSDHS) of Thailand, and other partners. *Objectives • To organize the 4th ASEAN Autism Games (AAGs), and to promote Disability-Inclusive Sports (DIS) by utilizing, mobilizing and maximizing role models among persons with autism, and their parents/trainers. • To inspire athletes to try out new sports and to encourage them to join sports activities. • To encourage local, national and regional sports bodies to recognize potential athletes/ persons with autism and their parents/trainers by giving opportunities to develop their capacities through inclusive sports training and participation in local, national and regional sports competitions. • Establish collaboration between institutions that handle children and teenagers with autism spectrum throughout Indonesia in particular, and ASEAN in general. • Establish cooperation among families having members of the autism spectrum in order to provide better support and assistance. • To update the implementing activities of capacity building for persons with autism in the ASEAN countries by AAN members through the AAN Executive Board Meeting. *Outcomes By organizing the 4th ASEAN Autism Games (AAGs), potential athletes with autism and their parents/trainers in ASEAN countries have improved their capacities for participation in popular sports in the ASEAN Paralympic movement. Athletes were inspired to try out new sports as a result of attending the AAGs. Furthermore, athletes indicated that they intended to join a sports club as a result of the event. Potential athletes with autism and their parents/trainers could develop their capacities and strengthen their collaboration and network through inclusive sports training and participation in local, national and regional sports competitions for the preparation of future events. Progress of accreditation was updated and elucidated the final approval procedure. *Executive Summary In January 2016, autism advocates from ASEAN countries congregated in the University of Philippines Campus in Los Banos, Laguna, Philippines for the 1st ASEAN Autism Friendship Games, led by the Autism Society Philippines (ASP) with support from AAN and APCD. Likewise, in December 2016, the Myanmar Autism Association quarterbacked a milestone sporting event for the country. It was the first sports event exclusively designed for persons with autism at the Myanmar Paralympic Sports Center in Yangon, Myanmar. In October 2017, the APCD, Japan Foundation, and Association of Parents of Thai Persons with Autism (AU-Thai) jointly organized the Disability-Inclusive Sports for Tomorrow and welcomed around 800 participants comprising of persons with autism and their parents and supporters from the 10 ASEAN countries. It was one of the biggest numbers so far for the Third ASEAN Autism Games held at the Bangkok Youth Center in Bangkok, Thailand. In October 2018, the Fourth ASEAN Autism Network (AAN) Congress kicked off with the Fourth ASEAN Autism Games (AAGs) organized by YAI and LSPR at the Soemantri Brodjonegoro Sports Center, South Jakarta, Indonesia. The AAGs consisted of Track & Field and Swimming competitions, which was participated by 217 individuals with autism spectrum. Of the 217 participants, 179 participants were from Indonesia, 6 from the Philippines, 13 from Malaysia, 3 from Vietnam, 5 from Singapore, 9 from Myanmar, 1 from Thailand and 1 from Lao PDR. A Dodge-Bee exhibition, a game from Japan specially meant for persons with disabilities, was demonstrated by experts from Japan. There were many other traditional games, which could be played by an individual with the autism spectrum. The sports event was witnessed by more than 500 supporters including parents/trainers, media and other local spectators. “Family Comes First’ highlights the core concept of the 4th AAN and it focuses to support, assist, facilitate and enhance autism-related family support groups in collaboration with other stakeholders in the ASEAN region and worldwide. One of its main objectives is to educate, develop, and give opportunities for autism-related family support groups of each member country, which helps members grow towards achieving global standards following the principle of the UNCRPD and other autism-related international and regional instruments. Athletes with disabilities are athletes like any other and it is now widely recognized that athletes with autism compete at an elite level, which parallels that experienced by nondisabled athletes. The importance of quality coaching to develop an athlete’s full potential is similarly recognized. Keeping this in mind, AAGs 2018 were facilitated by many international and national coaches and trainers for Track & Field and Swimming competitions. Despite knowing that they were not only particularly talented, some just participated to the best of their abilities. They, too, learned about teamwork, sportsmanship, and the importance of exercise. To boost the athlete’s self-confidence, they were awarded medals to make them feel as if he or she meant something to the team. *Executive Summary A Promising Future for Inclusive Sports The ASEAN Autism Games 2018 was a very successful event that received acknowledgment and praises from participants, spectators, media and stakeholders. The event brought home the message of the importance and relevance of disability-inclusive sports as well as the significance of teamwork, cooperation and importance of exercise. The AAGs was also conducted due to the increasing incidence of persons with autism with obesity and sedentary behavior, the decline in time spent on physical education and sports in schools due to the limited curricular, and a need to counteract societal changes, which have impacted on the family’s ability to involve children in extracurricular activities. Furthermore, it resulted in the following outcomes: • The AAGs enabled participants and parents/trainers to identify their individual barriers and helped them develop skills in sports adaptation, as reflected in the number of external factors that impact their participation in sports. • Mutual understanding and friendship between athletes of autism, their parents/trainers from ASEAN countries were developed through innovative autism-friendly recreation, leisure and sports activities. • The skills and talents of persons with autism were positively promoted at the AAGs with activities as Track & Field, Swimming, Dodge-Bee and native sports. The AAGs was held in commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Japan and Indonesia. • Networking and collaboration among autism-related partners in ASEAN countries were strengthened through the 4th AAN Congress and AAGs. • AAGs provided participants an opportunity to challenge commonly held misconceptions about persons with autism, when it comes to demonstrating their capacities. • The rights of persons with autism to participate in cultural life, recreation, leisure and sport were comprehended as stipulated in Article 30 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. • Understanding and acceptance of the different cultures of ASEAN countries and Japan were promoted through a series of autism-related events. • Dodge-Bee, a flying disc made with a nylon covered soft foam that is firm enough to hold its shape but still soft enough to throw and catch easily and safely, is a recent invention that came from a simple idea and widely popular game in Japan. It was introduced as a promising sports for persons with autism. The inclusive sports effectively promotes social participation and healthy teamwork, among others, which greatly benefits persons with autism. • The outline of the 5th AAN Congress 2020 in Malaysia has been drafted at the 4th AAN Executive Board Meeting. • Around 500 people (including spectators, media, supporters, stakeholders) witnessed the event and acknowledged the athletic performances of persons with autism in various sports events. *A Closer Look at the ASEAN Autism Games The much-awaited ASEAN Autism Games was officially inaugurated on 20 October 2018, with great zeal, excitement and frolicsome atmosphere. It opened with a parade of athletes, their parents/trainers and supporters from eight (8) ASEAN countries at the Soemantri Brodjonegoro Sports Center, South Jakarta, Indonesia. The program began with Dr. Melly Budhiman (Chairperson of Yayasan Autisma Indonesia) welcoming the esteemed gathering and emphasized on the importance of sports for the persons with autism spectrum. Dr. Bayu (Representative from the Ministry of Youth and Sports of Indonesia) conveyed the opening speech and Mr. Lee Yoong Yoong (Representative from ASEAN Secretariat) delivered a keynote speech. Shortly, it was followed by the grand ribbon-cutting ceremony by the representatives of the Government of Indonesia, ASEC, Senior Officials Meeting on Social Welfare and Development (SOMSWD), and Japan to ASEAN, YAI, LSPR, APCD, and AAN. Overall, 217 competitors took part in the AAGs; this included 162 athletes for Swimming and 150 for Track & Field competitions. The event was jointly organized by YAI and LSPR, Indonesia with support from various partners. The event was supported by international and national professional coaches/trainers, many staff/carers/caretakers, officials and volunteers from LSPR. Children with autism from SEV (Special Education and Vocational) Sekolah Tunas Indonesia performed an opening dance mesmerizing the audience with their energetic performances. Once the races began, the air was filled with cheering and tons of encouragement for the young athletes. The actual number of spectators in attendance across the two-day event was estimated at more than 500 people. The first day of the event was categorized into three parts beginning at 9:15 -11:15 a.m. with the Track & Field Competition, which included 50-meter and 100-meter running. This was followed by Indonesian Traditional Games organized by Komunitas Teman Main. The Swimming Competition was held from 1:45-3:45 p.m. On the same day, every athlete was awarded a participation medal to boost self-confidence and to encourage them. It was a day filled with fervor and excitement experienced amidst thrills and cheers. The second day of the AAG started off with the Dodge-Bee exhibition and the participants witnessed various ways to play the game. The display made way for the highly awaited events where keenness among the participants soared through the roof. Another highlight of the day was the final championship medal awarding ceremony of all the sports events. Many competitors were surprised and impressed by the scale and size of the event and the atmosphere created was acknowledged by parents/trainers, spectators, media personnel and stakeholders. At the end of the day, participants with autism, their parents/trainers and supporters departed with a clear smile on their faces filled with sportsmanship, enthusiasm, and memories to cherish. Mr. Karnadjaja Panji Putra (Representative from Yayasan Autisma Indonesia) and Ms. Prita Kema Gani (Chairperson of LSPR) thanked everyone for their cooperation and support, and advised parents/trainers to support their children’s sportsman spirit. #Page 9-11 *Speeches Welcome Message Photo: Dr. Melly Budhimandi was giving a speech in the opening ceremony. Dr. Melly Budhimandi Chairperson of Yayasan Autisma Indonesia (YAI) His Excellency Mr. Kazuo Sunaga, the Ambassador of Japan to ASEAN; His Excellency Mr. Ade Padmo Sarwono, the Ambassador of Indonesia to ASEAN; His Excellency Mr. Thepthavone Sengmany, Minister Counselor of the Embassy of Lao PDR; The Honorable Mr. Sok Phondany, Cambodia Counselor to Indonesia; Mr. Lee Yoong Yoong, Director of Community Affairs, ASEAN Secretariat; Mr. Somchai Rungsilp from APCD; Madame Dang Koe, the Honorary Chairman of AAN; Distinguished representatives from the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Social Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Youth and Sports Affairs; Distinguished representatives from ASEAN Member States, Ladies and Gentlemen, Good morning and peace be with you all. First of all, I would like to convey our warm welcome and sincere gratitude and appreciation to all representatives from ASEAN Member States, for your presence in this sporting event, the 4th ASEAN Autism Games 2018. The ASEAN Autism Games is not as spectacular as the Asian Games and Paralympic Games recently held by the Government of Indonesia. However, this event is extremely special for the Autism community, who wants to show the world that individuals with autism, if given the chance and support, can achieve a high level of performance. Unlike the Asian Games and Paralympic Games, the ASEAN Autism Games is not a competitive sports event. It is a friendly competition, more with the aim to facilitate individuals with autism to socialize and make friends, to boost their self-esteem, and of course, to develop their talents in sports. This year, the event will promote Track & Field and Swimming. We also have some Indonesian traditional games and a demonstration of Dodge-Bee. Before I end this remark, I would like to take the opportunity to convey our highest appreciation to the Government of Indonesia for their support and conviction, that our special and gifted children must be provided with chances to develop, as well as the enabling environment that breeds mutual understanding and friendship, as I quoted from the Secretary General: “No one left behind”. Allow me to express my special gratitude to Mr. Watcharapol from APCD, who has constantly supported us in organizing this special event. Without his constant support, this event would not have run smoothly. I also would like to thank all the volunteers who have worked with us side by side to make this event come true. And last but certainly not least, for the athletes, I wish for you all to enjoy the innovative friendly recreation, leisure and sports activities. And thank you for waiting so patiently and not throwing a tantrum. *Opening Speech Photo: Mr. Rachmat Koesnadi and Dr. Bayu Haradian SpKJ were giving an opening speech. Mr. Rachmat Koesnadi Director of Social Rehabilitation for Disabled, Ministry of Social Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia & Dr. Bayu Haradian SpKJ Deputy Assistant of Traditional Sports Development, Youth and Sports Ministry Assalammualaikum Warrahmatullahi Wabarakatuh SALAM OLAHRAGA! JAYA! His Excellency Mr. Kazuo Sunaga, the Ambassador of Japan to ASEAN; His Excellency Mr. Ade Padmo Sarwono, the Ambassador of Indonesia to ASEAN; Greetings to all participants from ASEAN, Firstly, I want to apologize on behalf of the Minister of Youth and Sports of the Republic of Indonesia, because he could not come directly to this wonderful event. We also want to greet and welcome all of the participants to Indonesia, we hope all of you will enjoy your visit in our country. On behalf of the Government, I also want to give our appreciation to the Indonesian Autism Foundation (Yayasan Autisma Indonesia) for organizing this event. There are two kinds of sports adapted in Indonesia – Achievement Sports and Sports for All. Sports for All covers all kinds of sports for all people and community including the autism community. In Indonesian Act Number 8 2016, there are two (2) rights for persons with disabilities: the right to do all kinds of physical activity or sports, and the right to do achievement sports. Indonesia 2018 Asian Para Games just finished a few days ago. And now, the Indonesian Government are very concerned with the legacy after the Games. Our main goal is to make Indonesia an inclusive society and a disable-friendly country. Currently, the Ministry of Youth and Sports focuses on supporting two (2) sports, Swimming and Athletics, which is the mother of sports. Indonesia also gives appreciation to all of our athletes with disabilities, and all athletes receive the same amount of bonuses and privileges. Games and Sports are known as one of the solutions to enhance communication for persons with autism, and we hope that through this event, it will also raise awareness to all communities in Indonesia. For the athletes, we wish you fair play, respect, and friendship throughout this competition. We hope this event will bond our brotherhood as an ASEAN family. Thank you again to the organizing committee, all of the sponsors, and volunteers for this event. Wassalammualaikum warrahmatullahi wabarakatuh. Bismillahirrahmannirahim!

I am also in charge of swimming and track & field, and I have a 27-year-old brother who is disabled. Persons with disabilities in Indonesia are still marginalized in all aspects of life, but the country’s effort to make it disabled-friendly realizing equal rights and opportunities for people with disabilities is much appreciated and we, as individuals, are trying our best so it actually materializes. While organizing AAGs 2018 with limited resources was very challenging for us, somehow we managed to do it with the help of volunteers. We have hired professional referees from Asian Games and Para Games. However, owing to our financial constraint, we could not pay them their usual rates, but they were happy to help. I have learned through this event that nothing is impossible to achieve if you are willing to do something good for others. All we required to do was effective communication and active participation in the making of the event. We will try to improve our communication skills even better to avoid miscommunication in the future, and want to organize such an event with much zeal and dignity. Lastly, I would like to say that AAGs was not a program of millions of dollars but a program of million hopes, and I am proud to be a part of it. Photo: Mr. Jonathan Tanjung Mr. Jonathan Tanjung I am 19 years old from West Java Indonesia, I had a really good time participating in the swimming competition. I did not win the competition but I had lots of fun. I love to play and be with my friends all the time. I go to school, and I have lots of friends but they are not very welcoming. They try to avoid me and do not let me play with them. So, I am the happiest when I get to swim alone and I wish I could swim every day. According to his mother, Jonathan lacks social communication, social participation, and he does not open up easily, which creates a huge barrier. Through this platform, she would like to convey the message to all children not to feel awkward being around a friend with autism or any kind of disability, to try to love and understand them as they have their own way of being smart. Photo: Mr. Syvang Xayyavong Mr. Syvang Xayyavong I am the president of the Association for Autism Lao PDR and I am also a parent of a child with autism. I know we all have some expectations from the organization working for disabilities and concerned government entities. But I would like to recommend an emphasis on family support at first, and learn to be the best advocate you can be for your child. Take advantage of all the services that are available to you in your community. You will meet parents having similar situations who can educate you and help you. You will gather great strength from the people you meet. The provision of Inclusive Education by the Government would be another factor that helps children with disabilities to attend classes that reflect the similarities and differences of people in the real world. They learn to appreciate diversity. Respect and understanding grow when children of differing abilities and cultures play and learn together. The AAGs 2018 was a favorable platform for children with autism where they could show their ability and understand their own potentiality. Photo: Mr. Kaung Myint Myat Mr. Kaung Myint Myat I am a 14-year-old athlete with autism from Myanmar. I go to school and I can speak in English too. I am so happy to be here and I have made many friends. I participated in Swimming, Track & Field and Dodge-Bee games. I love all the games that make me sweat. I am a big fan of Dodge- Bee and I would love to play this game with my friends back in my school. Now, I know how to play this game, and I can teach my friends to play. I cannot wait to go back to school to show my medals and play it with my friends. I know it is going to be fun. Photo: Dr. Samrerng Virachanang Dr. Samrerng Virachanang I am the first Vice President of Autism Thai Association Thailand, and I also have a son with autism. I think building up social skills through sports events like this can help enhance social participation and support outcomes like contentment and attachment. Autism Thai Foundation had recently organized the First Autism Games in Thailand, where more than 800 participants had participated from different provinces of Thailand. We believe that parents have a very significant role in enhancing the social participation of their children, therefore, we encourage parents’ involvement in any activities. I would also like to request APCD to organize trainings for parents in the future, so that they will understand the complexity of ASD and the multiple targets of intervention including skill deficits in communication and socialization of their children. Many children and adults on the autism spectrum need help in learning how to act in different types of social situations and it is only possible with the help of their family. They often have the desire to interact with others, but may not know how to engage friends or may be overwhelmed by the idea of new experiences. Photo: Mr. Saw Kyi Shwin Mr. Saw Kyi Shwin I am a 12-year-old athlete with autism from Myanmar. This is my first time that I have ever attended such a big event. I have participated in both Track & Field and Swimming, and scored the first position in both the sports. I have always been good at sports, and I do even better when people cheer for me. I was so amazed by the support I received while running and swimming. Also, I have never played Dodge-Bee, and actually I have never seen a soft flying disc like that before. I enjoyed playing it and I wish I could get some of those discs and could play in my home. Photo: Ms. Vilayvanh Kommasith Ms. Vilayvanh Kommasith AAGs is a very important event for children with autism. Being the head of the academic teachers of Vientiane Autism Center, Lao PDR, I can relate to the event. I coach athletes with autism so that they would develop skills and become professional athletes in the national and regional levels. I had participated in TCTP 2017 and 2018 training program, which was organized in Bangkok and had been able to learn about adapted sports. I am trying my best to implement the knowledge that I gained through TCTP into actual practice in Vientiane. I am mostly responsible for organizing a sports event, and I am very happy that I have got an opportunity to witness another important event related to sports for autism. I am definitely taking back techniques, and skills and would implement it in the sports. Personally, I feel that, to organize adapted sports we do not need lots of resources, all we need is the active participation of athletes with autism and their parents/trainers. Photo: Mr. Thavisouk Douaugdala Mr. Thavisouk Douaugdala Last year I had participated in TCTP and competed in sports and I have been hooked ever since. I have made many friends. I consider myself to be a very active person. Running makes me happy, and I enjoy running in groups. In AAGs, I took part in running competitions and I came first. I practice a lot in my hometown. My coaches say that I am good at sports, and I have to work hard to be an athlete. I am 13 years old now and hopefully, I will win in many competitions in the future. #Page 25-26 *Closing Review Photo: Mr. Karnadjaja Panji Putra was giving a closing review. Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, For three days we have gathered to watch our special children, who are autistic individuals, showed their abilities in sports, not only at the local or national level, but at the ASEAN level. Their achievements have showed us that behind their limitations there are potentials that can be optimally developed when we provide opportunities and strong support. ASEAN Autism Games is a celebration. Celebration of differences, celebration of unity, and celebration of humanity. Without the presence of these special children, we will not have the opportunity to work together to achieve our dreams as parents of autistic individuals. Our dreams are equal rights, unconditional acceptance and love, and a more inclusive society. In the ASEAN Autism Games the most important thing is how victory is not defined by winning the competition, but how our children do their best and how families and the whole support system show love and appreciation for them. We would like to inform you the detail of the Friendly Competitions: There were eight participating countries and 217 participants consisting of: a. 178 from Indonesia b. 39 from other ASEAN countries c. There were 15 categories for Running and Swimming friendly competitions, for which we have already given 40 medals for the winners and also medals for participation. At this closing ceremony, as the chairman of the committee, I would like to express my deepest gratitude for the presence and support for this event. To the Government of Indonesia, especially the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Social Affairs and Ministry of Youth and Sports; To APCD, which has provided moral and material support; To Madame Dang Koe as previous AAN Chair for spreading information to all AAN delegates; 26 To Mrs. Prita Kemal Gani and all volunteers from LSPR who have helped a lot in preparing and execute this event; To Dr. Melly Budhiman and all my friends at Yayasan Autisma Indonesia. Thank you for the hard work and friendship; To AAN delegates along with athletes and families who enlivened the event; To the media that has covered this activity and spread the news of the success of this event, so people can learn more about our community; And finally, to the spectators who were so excited and made the athletes feel very special. Lastly, we would like to apologize for any shortcomings during the event. I hope this event and other events in the future will strengthen ASEAN Autism Network to achieve our goals. Thank you. *Closing Remarks Photo: Ms. Prita Kemal Gani Ms. Prita Kemal Gani, Founder/Chairperson, London School of Public Relations, delivered the closing remarks. #Page 27 Photo: Mascot logos of ASEAN Autism Games #Page 28 *Appendices #Page 29-31 *Programme 20-21 October 2018 Gelanggang Olah Raga Sumantri Brojonegoro, Jakarta Saturday, 20 October 2018 07.30 – 08.00 Registration for Participants 08.00 – 08.30 Parade of Athletes 08.30 – 09.15 Opening Ceremony 08.30 – 08.35 Welcome Message Chairperson, Yayasan Autisma Indonesia 08.35 – 08.40 Opening Speech Representative from the Government of Indonesia 08.40 – 08.45 Keynote Speech Representative from ASEAN Secretariat 08.45 – 09.00 Ribbon Cutting Group Photos Representatives of - Indonesian Government - ASEC - SOMSWD - Japan to ASEAN - YAI - LSCAA - APCD - AAN - SEV Sekolah Tunas Indonesia 09.00 – 09.15 Performance by Individuals with Autism 09.15 – 11.15 Running Contest - Friendly Competition: 50 meters - Friendly Competition: 100 meters 11.15 – 12.15 Indonesian Traditional Games in Hall A Komunitas Teman Main 12.15 – 13.45 Lunch 13.45 – 15.45 Swimming Contest - Friendly Competition: 50 meters - Friendly Competition: 100 meters Sunday, 21 October 2018 (Venue: Hall A) 07.30 – 08.00 Registration 08.00 – 10.30 - “Disability-Inclusive Sports for Tomorrow” Activities DIS Exchanges from ASEAN & Japan - Professional Dodge-Bee Exhibition Games Participants given chance to play afterwards 10.40 – 11.40 Closing Ceremony 10.40 – 10.55 Handover of AAN Chairmanship Message from Madam Dang Koe (Outgoing AAN Chairperson) Commitment by New AAN Chairperson 10.55 – 11.25 Awarding of Winners Representatives of - Indonesian Government - ASEC - SOMSWD - Japan to ASEAN - YAI - LSCAA - APCD - AAN 11.25 – 11.30 Closing Report Representative of YAI 11.30 – 11.40 Closing Remarks Representative of LSPR 11.40 – 12.30 Lunch 12.30 – 16.00 Free Time #Page 32-37 *Track & Field Results No. Lomba: Kompetisi 50M (U11-15) Putri Final Rank 1.

Evaluation forms filled by the athletes, their parents/trainers and supporters collected, analyzed the evaluation results, shared information on the issues recognized, and furthermore engaged in constructive initiatives geared to making sports events for the persons with autism/disability even more effective and sustainable. Relevance: In accordance with online registration forms made available for the potential athletes with autism and their parents/trainers for ASEAN countries except Brunei and Cambodia, many participants enrolled at the beginning. The number, however, declined drastically once they learned that it was a self-sponsored event. Sponsorship is the tool that is part of a successful event that envisioned to accomplish its objectives. Contrariwise, the sports event reflected is highly relevant for ASEAN countries in the context of invisible disabilities, like autism and despite countries having diversified cultures and languages, the athletes with autism, their parents/trainers reflected satisfaction on information provided and the message that AAGs intended to spread through the athletes with autism with the high score of 98.33%. Effectiveness: The effectiveness of the AAGs 2018 was based on the questions related to adapted sports and their overall satisfaction, which scored 99%. This reasonable high percentage reflected the approach of participatory-inclusive sports in Track & Field, Swimming, and Dodge-Bee (flying disc). Efficiency: The efficiency of the training, in terms of achievement of objectives, have scored with a high percentage of 99%. However, the participants reflected accomplishment in all areas of the events (i.e. contents, methods, facilitators, and understanding). The training objectives allocated with friendly sports, which were custom-designed by implementing organizations with assistance from resource persons and geared towards social interaction, as well as boosting self-confidence through integrated leisure, recreation and sports. Impact: The achievement of the AAGs 2018 appeared to be highly satisfactory in terms of relations achieved. The percentage indicated that the AAGs can provide opportunities for participants to develop the commitment on “capacity building of potential athletes with autism on leisure, recreation, and sports” towards their social participation and sustainability of vocational life. Besides, the participants could reflect and exchange information and knowledge with other colleagues in ASEAN countries. Sustainability: The sustainability of the TCTP appeared to be appropriate for the athletes with autism. The implementing activities by participants appears promising with the average score of 95%. The progress of the training course from the first year of TCTP 2017 was reflected remarkably high. The requirements of the course continuation by the same Implementing Agency is fundamental in order to achieve the goals with 100%. The training can strengthen collaboration and networking among countries and could identify strategies for overcoming restraints to sustainable and effective implementation of the project and contribute in policy compliance processes. It can further be strengthen collaboration among the Government representatives of ASEAN countries, in collaboration with TICA , JICA and APCD. #Page 50 *Conclusion The AAGs 2018 on Inclusive Development Through Disability-Inclusive Sports (DIS) was conducted in various participatory sessions focusing on new knowledge creation for all potential athletes with autism and their parents/trainers as well as supporters. The AAGs 2018 promoted their social interaction in recreation, leisure, and sports. In addition, through the evaluation result, it could be summarized that the sports event is moving towards its intended intervention and strategic outcomes. Nearly all participants participated in the sports for at least one day for about two hours on average. When compared to participation rates prior to Inclusive Sports, this reveals an increase in participation by a huge score. In addition, there has been an increase in the proportion of respondents in the evaluation. This suggests that the AAGs 2018 is not only increasing sports participation for persons with disabilities within its funded project, but also has enabled participants to develop their confidence to explore other opportunities outside of the TCTP projects. With regards to specific intervention outcomes, it reveals that the AAGs 2018 is already beginning to deliver positive changes for those who attended the TCTP training. #Page 51 See you at the Games
