World Autism Awareness Day
Ever since the United Nations General Assembly designated 2 April as World Autism Awareness Day (WAAD) in 2007, the United Nations has observed the day as a means to affirm and promote the full realization of all human rights and fundamental freedoms for autistic people on an equal basis with others
What Colour is World Autism Day? Wear blue on 2 April
When we wear blue, it’s not only about keeping that conversation going about autism but it’s also making sure that those with autism and their families don’t feel alone. So on April 2nd and throughout World Autism Month in April, please wear blue, and have others do the same.
What is the symbol for autism?
The Autism Awareness Ribbon (The Puzzle Piece Ribbon)
The puzzle ribbon became the universal symbol of autism awareness in 1999. While trademarked by the Autism Society, it’s shared with other nonprofits to promote unity and a universal mission rather than individual interests.

Is autism a disability?
Autism is a neurological developmental disability with an estimated prevalence of one to two percent of the American and worldwide population. The diversity of the disability means that each person’s individual experience of autism and needs for support and services can vary widely.
