UnitedNations General Assembly designated April 2nd as World AutismAwareness Day in 2007, and each year has a different theme to promote awarenessand understanding of autism. Autism affects millions of people around theworld, and yet there is still much that we don't understand about thecondition. A report by Statista enlightens the fact that 27 out of 1000children are suffering from Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in 2020 which isincreasing year after year.
Firstly, itis important to recognize that autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder thataffects individuals differently. Some people with autism may have difficultywith social interaction, while others may have difficulty with communication orexhibit repetitive behaviours. Additionally, individuals with autism mayexperience sensory sensitivities or have different ways of processinginformation.
It isessential to emphasize that people with autism have unique strengths andtalents. Some may have exceptional memory skills or excel in areas such asmathematics, music, or art. Recognizing and celebrating these strengths canhelp individuals with autism develop confidence and self-esteem.
However,there are also significant challenges that people with autism face. Forexample, many individuals with autism struggle with accessing appropriatesupport and resources. In some cases, families may not have access to thenecessary services or funding to support their loved ones with autism. This canmake it challenging for individuals with autism to achieve their full potentialand lead fulfilling lives.
Anotherchallenge that people with autism face is discrimination and stigmatization.Misconceptions about autism can lead to negative attitudes and stereotypes,which can prevent individuals with autism from fully participating in society.It is crucial to promote understanding and acceptance of autism in all aspectsof society, including education, employment, and healthcare.
