Not only is it World Autism Awareness Day, it's also Autism Awareness Month. Be sure to watch the U.N. Video in this piece from Huffington Post.
World Autism Awareness Day 2010 is being celebrated today, April 2, 2010, worldwide.
The United Nations adopted a resolution on Dec. 18, 2007 declaring April 2 World Autism Awareness Day. The inaugural celebration on April 2, 2008 included 20 participating countries.
The U.N. notes that World Autism Awareness Day is meant "to highlight the need to help improve the lives of children and adults who suffer from the disorder so they can lead full and meaningful lives."
