"It is truly heartwarming to see the support and encouragement these amazing people have had. I feel that we all have a unique way of viewing and engaging with the world. I felt a kinship and connection to the participants in the documentary. The bit about autism being a superpower was lovely — this documentary is a great reaffirmation."

1 in 66 children and youth in Canada are autistic. We as a country need to build inclusive communities where autistic Canadians can reach their full potential:
April is World Autism Month, an annual opportunity for a dedicated conversation about autism spectrum disorder. Autism touches more than 70 million people globally. Approximately 1 in 66 children and youth are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder in Canada and this number continues to grow.
In 2008, The United Nations General Assembly unanimously declared April 2nd as World Autism Awareness Day — many countries around the world light up their landmarks blue to help increase understanding and acceptance of people with Autism. In 2012, the Canadian Parliament passed the World Autism Awareness Day Act recognizing April 2nd as World Autism Awareness Day.
Join us in celebrating April 2nd and the whole month of April by showing your support.
