World Autism Awareness Day

The United Nations General Assembly unanimously declared 2 April as World Autism Awareness Day.

This year, Autism Spectrum Australia (Aspect) asked the community what they would like people to know if they find out that a person has Autism. The most important message is that no two people with Autism are the same and that Autism may not be what you think it is. It’s not a one-size-fits all approach and there is so much misunderstanding out in the public. The environment and people’s attitudes can often be more of a barrier for people with Autism.

Autism Spectrum Australia has some great resources for students in developing their understanding of Autism.
