Autism Awareness Day

Mhairi

Hi

I have found out it is Autism Awareness Day on 2nd April.  I struggled to search for this info on the NAS website.  I thought this would be a good thing to highlight to users and suggest they take the opportunity to do something in their community to raise awareness i.e. give out some leaflets, put up some posters off the waad website, put a poem in their local paper or a quote or real life experience.

It is a great opportunity to help increase understanding.

Just  a thought......

  • Okay then - we've got a news story up for World Autism Awareness Day, partly inspired by you Mhairi :)

    The link to the page is -

    http://www.autism.org.uk/waad2011

    and it lists all the events we currently know about that are taking place around the day. We'd love to hear more and include them, so if you know of something local or national that people are doing, just let us know the details.

    Don't worry about publishing private contact details for events, we can either email you or contact the organisations to see how much information they'd like to include.

    And, of course, we'd love to know anything people are doing to stand up for autism on the day. Feel free to let us know, whatever it is :)
