Autism Awareness Day aims to put a spotlight on the hurdles that people with autism and others living with autism face every day.  As per WHO report worldwide one in 160 children has an ASD. World Autism Awareness Day is held every year on April 2. It is recognized by the United Nations member states as a day to remember the rights of autistic individuals around the world. The United Nations General Assembly unanimously declared the day to advocate the need for persons with autism to be able to lead full and meaningful lives as an integral part of society.

The word “autism” still conveys a fixed and dreadful meaning to most people. They visualize a child mute, rocking, screaming, inaccessible, cut off from human contact. And we almost always speak of autistic children, never of autistic adults, as if such children never grew up, or were somehow mysteriously spirited off the planet, out of society.

 

World Autism Awareness Day aims to shine a light on autism and increase awareness about people especially children who have autism. There is also hope to develop world knowledge about autism and deliver information on how important it is to detect autism in an early stage.

What is Autism?

Autism is a lifelong developmental disability that affects how a person communicates with and relates to, other people. It also affects how they make sense of the world around them. It is a spectrum condition, which means that, while all people with autism share certain difficulties, their condition will affect them in different ways.

General Autism Symptoms:

1 – Not responding to their name
2 – Avoiding eye contact
3 – Not smiling when you smile at them
4 – Getting very upset if they do not like a certain taste, smell or sound
5 – Repetitive movements, such as flapping their hands, flicking their fingers or rocking their body
6 – Not talking as much as other children
7 – Repeating the same phrases

 

There is no cure for autism spectrum disorder, and there’s currently no medication to treat it. However some medicines can help with related symptoms like depression, seizures, insomnia, and trouble focusing. There are many ways to help minimize the symptoms and maximize abilities. People who have ASD have the best chance of using all of their abilities and skills if they receive appropriate therapies and interventions.

The most effective therapies and interventions are often different for each person. However, most people with ASD respond best to highly structured and specialized programs. In some cases, treatment can help people with autism to function at near-normal levels.
