Each year, April 1 marks the start of International Autism Awareness Month. Mayors in many cities around the world raise a symbolic flag, and awareness campaigns are often launched on World Autism Awareness Day, April 2.

increased employment opportunities for adults on the autism spectrum
more positive, empowered and diverse portrayals of autism in media and entertainment
