Yesterday April 2 marked World Autism Awareness Day, kicking off April as Autism Awareness month - thank you to everyone who participated today, by "dressing it up blue'
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), commonly referred to as Autism, is a complex developmental brain disorder caused by a combination of genetic and environmental influences. ASD is characterized, in varying degrees, by communication difficulties, social and behavioural challenges, and repetitive behaviours and is considered to be a lifespan disorder. An estimated 1 in 68 diagnosed children is on the autism spectrum.
The United Nations General Assembly unanimously declared 2 April as World Autism Awareness Day to highlight the need to help improve the quality of life of those with autism so they can lead full and meaningful lives as an integral part of society.
On April 2, monuments throughout the world, like Empire Statebuilding, CN Tower and Eifel Tower (to name some) "light it up blue" to recognize the importance for more awareness and acceptance.
