The First Autism Awareness Day: did you take part?
April 2, 2008 | Filed under News

Today is Autism Awareness Day and the idea of this day is that it makes people aware of what Autism is and how it affects people in their everyday life. My son is 4 and is autistic and I have come across so many people who do not know about Autism so I think that this day is a great idea.
So many children and even adults are diagnosed with Autism every day across the world and without the understanding from others, things like social skills and even the educational side can be affected.
There are so many different types of Autism and sometimes it is hard to diagnose. Some children with mild autism grow up and are able to live on their own, but others with more serious problems will always need some kind of help that’s where this day becomes important.
Do you know anyone who has Autism?
