April

The entire month of April is Autism Awareness Month and April 2 is recognized as World Autism Awareness Day.

Established in 1972, advocacy groups such as the Autism Society began by founding National Autistic Children's week, with it eventually evolving into what we recognize today. The theme for 2022 National Autism Awareness Month is Light it up blue

The goal of Autism Awareness Month is to spread awareness about autism, share stories, provide resources and encourage acceptance. There are various ways to show your support and get involved including political advocacy, volunteering with children on the autism spectrum, and sharing your personal stories with the world.
