According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, World Autism Awareness Day is traditionally observed on April 2. However, this year the celebration was postponed due to the Eid-ul-Fitr holiday. The theme for this year’s event is “Welcoming Neurodiversity, Building a Sustainable Society.”
The day aims to raise awareness about autism and promote the acceptance of neurodiversity within the community. The event will include various activities and discussions focused on integrating individuals with autism into society and supporting their contributions towards sustainability.
