What are you doing on World autism Day?

Question

April 2 is World Autism Day. I would like to know what those of you on the autism spectrum are doing this day and rest of autism awareness month. Are you attending a conference? Plan to lobby your elected official? Organizing a fund raiser for autism research? Adults, kids, parents and friends of loved ones with autism, I want to hear from you all. After much searching and telling my story, my newspaper is going to write a column about adults on the spectrum, the lack of funding and treatment available. It will be published later this month. I dedicate this question to World Autism Day. Answer away!

Answer 1

I am a special education teacher, so I am going to pass out some information to all the teachers. I am also doing a small presentation to the school during our morning announcements. I also bought a spool of autism ribbon and am going to pass them out to students. I am also going to see Michele Garcia Winner speak this month. I am very excited about that. I have not seen her in person.

Answer 2

Thanks for posting the information about World Autism Day. I never knew that it was in existence.

I was aware that the month of April was Autism Awareness Month.

I am a parent of a child that was born with Autism and Mental Retardation.

I was glad that they actually found the book beneficial and hope to share with you guys or any of your friends too.

Answer 4

The UN organized an event with Autism Speaks and the Autism Society.

This UN Global World Autism Awareness day was conceived  by a couple from the United Nations, parents of an autistic kid.  Autism Speaks hijacked the observance and the Wrights say they created the observance!!!
