Autism Awareness Day
(April 2)

Dear collegues,

Autism is very important for me, because i have a relative with autisim.

So it's the best way to start searching "What is Autism?" and "Why do we celebrate this day?"

We will learn at first and then we can raise awareness at our students.

What is Autism ?

Autism spectrum disorder is a complex neurodevelopmental difference that is congenital or presents in the first years of life. Autism is thought to be caused by certain nervous system problems that affect the structure or functioning of the brain.

Why do we celebrate Autism Awareness Day?

The United Nations General Assembly unanimously declared 2 April as World Autism Awareness Day (A/RES/62/139) to highlight the need to help improve the quality of life of those with autism so they can lead full and meaningful lives as an integral part of society.

I am sure that you and your students will make great contributions

Thanks in advance.
