Today marks World Autism Day. It is an opportunity to for everyone to learn a little bit more about Autism and to celebrate Autistic people in our families, schools, communities, and workplaces.
All over the world, Autism will trend on social media and many people will attend events and fundraisers in support of the autism community. It is hard to believe that it is not that long ago when many people were not aware of Autism, let alone thought they knew an Autistic person.
A growing awareness of Autism had led to more people receiving a diagnosis and today over 3% of children in our schools have been identified as being Autistic.
