Autistic children may struggle with emotions, and it is critical that they learn appropriate methods to express their anger.
World Autism Awareness Day is promoted on April 2 each year. Awareness of autism as a condition and solidarity with individuals who struggle with it are the goals of this observance. On this day, autistic groups from all around the world join forces to improve the lives of those whose lives have been touched by autism in any way, including via research, diagnosis, treatment, and acceptance.
According to the World Health Organization, autism is a part of a spectrum of disorders that affect brain development and manifest in a wide range of symptoms. In addition to troublesome behaviours like insomnia and self-injury, people with autism often have co-occurring disorders including epilepsy, depression, anxiety, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Its aim is to promote respect for the inherent dignity of people with disabilities by promoting the full and equal enjoyment of all human rights and basic freedoms.

What is Autism ?
Autism is a lifelong neurological disorder with onset in early infancy that does not discriminate on the basis of race, socioeconomic class, or gender. The phrase "Autism Spectrum" is used to describe a broad set of symptoms. Individuals on the Spectrum have the right to equitable treatment and may contribute fully to society with the right kind of help and understanding.
Autistic people's skills and requirements might change over time. According to WHO, some persons with autism may function normally in society, while others have such severe difficulties that they will always need assistance.
