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.
