Wednesday 2nd April has been designated World Autism Awareness Day by the United Nations General Assembly in New York. The April 2 events will take place on three continents and in venues ranging from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange to local bookstores and the worldwide web, and are expected to generate significant national and international media coverage.
World Autism Day hopes to break the “barrier of shame” of people suffering from autism and raise international awareness of the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of the brain disorder, which was estimated to affect 35 million people worldwide.
QSAC will be participating in A Day to Believe: Autism Awareness Day at Shea to also help raise awareness of autism.
