World Autism Awareness Day – 2 April 2022

World Autism Awareness Day is a worldwide initiative aiming to increase understanding of the disability. Autism, or autism spectrum disorder (ASD), refers to a broad range of conditions characterised by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication.

  • Autism affects all ethnic and socioeconomic groups.
  • Minority groups tend to be diagnosed later and less often.
  • Early intervention affords the best opportunity to support healthy development and deliver benefits across the lifespan.

Show your support this April by:

  • Wearing blue
  • Volunteering with the foundation
  • Raising awareness on social media
  • Fundraising
  • Informing family and friends of the disability
