'Stand up for autism'.
The United Nations has declared April 2nd each year as World Autism Awareness Day (WAAD), to increase and develop world knowledge of autism. By bringing together autism organisations all around the world, the day aims to give a voice to the millions of individuals worldwide who are undiagnosed, misunderstood and looking for help.
In the UK a number of regional autism charities, including Autism Anglia, have joined forces to recognise, raise awareness of and celebrate World Autism Day and 'Stand up for autism'.
Individual organisations will hold their own events to mark the day.
