When is World Autism Awareness Day?
Sunday April 2ndOn April 2nd each year, World Autism Awareness Day (WAAD), sheds a light on a growing global health crisis.
Autism affects 1 in 59 children, according to the National Autism Association. Boys are more common in boys than girls, and the bio-neurological developmental disorder usually appears by the age of three.
As children with autism grow older, they face all sorts of challenges. Because many people don't speak or use social cues as you do, or if you do, they become targets for bullies or are completely banned altogether. Children with autism are also vulnerable to drowning because they wander from their homes and schools. People can't tell someone their name or where they live because they are unable to communicate. Neither can tell them their name or where they live. In addition, adults are more likely to be unemployed or underemployed..
However, there are resources available for parents and schools to help keep children safe and help them lead happy and healthy lives.. For families and schools, visit the National Autism Association website for information, maps, and tips.
The day also focuses on the increasing need for services that can help those with autism now and in the future.
