World Autism Awareness Day!

April 2 is World Autism Awareness Day. World Autism Awareness Day (WAAD) aims to put a spotlight on the hurdles that people with autism and others living with autism face every day.

The theme of World Autism Awareness Day this year is “Empowering Autistic Voices” which aims at providing more support and power to the individuals with this condition, inorder to ensure they lead a meaningful life and even pursue successful careers.

Autism spectrum disorder is a condition that affects how the brain functions. It affects how a person communicates with, and relates to, other people. It also affects how they make sense of the world around them.
