Appropriate support, accommodation, and acceptance of this neurological variation enable those on the Spectrum to participate in society with equal opportunity and full and effective participation.
Autism is distinguished primarily by its distinctive social interactions, unconventional methods of learning, keen interests in specific subjects, proclivity for routines, difficulties with typical communication, and distinctive ways of communicating.
World Autism Awareness Day honors the tenacity of those affected by the disorder and raises funds for causes that raise awareness of it. Children are educated about autism and encouraged to accept it in school.
