The Management of Green Thumbs 246 is playing a part in spreading the word in recognition of World Autism Day 2021! Let’s do our part in educating the world!
On this World Autism Awareness Day 2021, you can do your part to spread awareness about this disorder and educate people about it. World Autism Day was started by the United Nations in 2012 and is celebrated with the aim to spread awareness about autism as a mental disease.
What is Autism
Autism, also known as Autism Spectrum Disorder, is a mental disorder that affects all people differently. Common challenges people affected with autism face are lacking social skills, repetitive behaviour, impulsive behaviour. Autism is a spectrum, meaning people on the lower end of the autism spectrum can function well in society, whereas people with severe autism can suffer a lot and be dependent on their family to fulfil their daily needs.
