Autism awareness
Extracted from the Wikipedia article Autism.
Society and culture
The autistic rights and neurodiversity movements argue autism should be accepted as a difference to be accommodated instead of cured, although a minority of autistic people might still accept a cure. Social-science scholars study autistic people in hopes of learning more about "autism as a culture, transcultural comparisons ... and research on social movements". Events related to autism include World Autism Awareness Day, Autism Sunday, Autistic Pride Day, Autreat, and others.
