World Autism Awareness Day is a day recognized internationally on an annual basis on April 2, encouraging member nations of the United Nations (UN) to take necessary measures to raise awareness about autistic individuals throughout the world.
According to un.org:
Ever since the United Nations General Assembly designated 2 April as World Autism Awareness Day (WAAD) in 2007, the United Nations has observed the day as a means to affirm and promote the full realization of all human rights and fundamental freedoms for autistic people on an equal basis with others.
