What is World Autism Awareness Day?
World Autism Awareness Day (WAAD), which takes place on April 2nd each year, sheds a light on a growing global health crisis.
Autism affects 1 in 59 children, according to the National Autism Association. 59 children are affected by autism. By the age of three, the bio-neurological developmental disorder is most common in boys than girls, and it is more prevalent in boys than girls.
They face all sorts of challenges as children with autism get older. If you or not, many people don't speak or use social cues as you, or if you do, they become targets for bullies or are banned entirely. Autism children are also vulnerable to drowning because they wander from their homes and schools. They are unable to tell someone their name or where they live because of their inability to communicate. 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 resources, maps, and tips..
Both today and in the future, the day also focuses on the increasing need for services that can help those with autism now and in the future.
