On December 18, 2007, the United Nations General Assembly adopted resolution 62/139, tabled by the State of Qatar, which declares April 2 as World Autism Awareness Day (WAAD) in perpetuity.
This UN resolution is one of only three official disease-specific United Nations Days and will bring the world’s attention to autism, a pervasive disorder that affects tens of millions.
If tomorrow you see people rattling tins, selling cakes, or any other fund raiser give, give generously and give often.
Please watch the video, it’s only 1½ minutes long

I shall actively seek out the tin rattlers in my area, good luck with the continuing campaign.
Thanks for the info, Soutie, hopefully tomorrow and every day after donations will help autism sufferers.
