What Is World Autism Awareness Day?

April 2nd is World Autism Awareness Day (WAAD), which seeks to bring the world’s attention to autism, a disorder that affects tens of millions. WAAD activities, like Light It Up Blue, can help increase and develop global knowledge about children and adults with autism spectrum disorder. It also celebrates the unique talents and skills of the people who fall within the autism spectrum. Participating in WAAD is a way for us to show our appreciation and to help give a voice to the millions of individuals with autism.
