Theme of this year is "Transforming the narrative: Contributions at home, at work, in the arts and in policymaking".
Observance of this day aims to spread awareness about Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and the obstacles that people with ASD face every day.
Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by restricted language communication skills, as well as repetitive behaviors and limited interests in the outside world.
The United Nations (UN) has been working to facilitate the rights and well-being of persons with disabilities ever since its inception. In 2008, the UN announced April 2 to be observed as the World Autism Awareness Day.
Autistic people face discrimination and challenges that are often not recognized by the world.
