The United Nations-sanctioned World Autism Awareness Day on April 2. This year marks the 18th annual World Autism Awareness Day.
At St Matthew’s, we focus on sharing stories and providing opportunities to increase understanding and acceptance of people with autism and fostering support. We can learn so much from hearing about life experiences which fosters openness and inclusivity which are key to achieving true acceptance. Increased awareness and acceptance, in turn, create more opportunities for Canadians on the autism spectrum to thrive and reach their full potential.
By working together, we can ensure Autistic individuals are heard, understood and accepted.
