World Autism Awareness Day is observed on April 2 to raise awareness about Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and promote the livelihood of people having autism.
It also aims to encourage early diagnosis and intervention that can lead to improved outcomes for individuals with autism.
Autism spectrum disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects the communication, social interaction, and behavior of an individual.
It is characterised by repetitive behaviours, communication difficulties and problems with social interaction. Autism affects people of all ages, races, and ethnicities.
The United Nations General Assembly in 2007 passed a resolution to adopt April 02 as World Autism Awareness Day.
The first World Autism Awareness Day was observed on April 2, 2008.
This year the theme for World Autism Awareness Day 2023 is "Transforming the narrative: Contributions at home, at work, in the arts and in policymaking."
