Africa: World Autism Awareness Day 2025 - Sustainable Development Must Include Neurodivergent Perspectives: [IPS] United Nations -- In 2007, the United Nations (UN) General Assembly designated April 2 as World Autism Awareness Day (WAAD), in an effort to promote inclusion and human rights for autistic individuals.

The more time goes by, the more aware I am that I am autistic. I’m grateful for all the autistic people who have shared their experiences—I feel like I’m not alone anymore (unless I want to be).

It's #WorldAutismAwarenessDay, and I attained autism awareness at 6:30 this morning, although to be fair I tried to get back to sleep.

Today is World Autism Day. If anything I just want to remind people to not infantilize autistic people, especially teens and adults. It's very discouraging to growth and mood. Even if some of their actions may seem more "childish" to you, please be aware of how it may come across to say that to someone. #worldautismawarenessday #actuallyautistic

#Bales2025FilmChallenge of April 2: an autistic actor/character

Le moindre geste [The Slightest Gesture] (Jean-Pierre Daniel, Fernand Deligny + Josée Manenti, 1971)

#FernandDeligny was an educator who promoted play and exploration, as opposed to drugs and force, to open up the lives of young nonverbal, autistic people. We follow Yves Guignard, one of Deligny's “patients”, who, in his own wordless rhythm shows us his world.

Your reminder this #WorldAutismAwarenessDay

Today we celebrate World Autism Awareness Day, for all the ways open source projects like ours are better because of contributions from those on the autism spectrum. Every day we benefit from the unique perspectives, depth of knowledge, and strength of purpose that come hand in hand with neurodiversity.

We pledge to keep improving communication paths and accessibility features within our project, so everyone feels welcome and empowered to contribute. #worldautismawarenessday #openautism

For World Autism Awareness Day, we want to highlight Open Autism, a group dedicated to developing open source software specifically for autistic users and the people who support them.

Many of us know how important it is to have free and open source options for our technology needs, and autistic needs are no different.

Today is #WorldAutismAwarenessDay. No one ever explained the difference between "awareness" and "acceptance" better than this 14-year-old in Australia. Please read my in-depth history of #autism and neurodiversity, #NeuroTribes, and books by great autistic authors like @EricMGarcia, Yenn Purkis, and Katherine May.

Doing my bit for #WorldAutismAwarenessDay by posting on LinkedIn (mostly for people back home) to not pursue ABA, consider not posting only about their struggles as parents of autistic children, and by providing a link to https://autisticscienceperson.com/

My job is done
