World Autism Awareness Day 2010
2 April 2010 will mark the third annual celebration of World Autism Awareness Day – a day to improve and produce planet knowledge of autism, by bringing together autism organizations from close to the world. The aim would be to give a voice for the millions of individuals globally who are undiagnosed, misunderstood and seeking for aid.
In December of 2007, the United Nations passed a resolution declaring 2 April as World Autism Awareness Day. The resolution was introduced by Nassir Abdulaziz al -Nasser, Permanent Representative of Qatar towards the United Nations. According to a press release by the Representative of Qatar, “member States should break the ‘barrier of shame’ of folks suffering from autism and raise international recognition of the value of early diagnosis and treatment from the brain disorder, which was estimated to impact 35 million people worldwide.”
The focus of many of today’s autism organizations is to aid raise attention of autism and the other pervasive developmental disorders. The Autism Society of America and Autism Speaks are two of the much more well-known organizations dedicated to maintaining attention focused on autism spectrum disorders.
