April 2, 2008 is the first World Autism Awareness Day. ". . . since the early 1990's, the rate of autism has increased exponentially around the world . . ."
This is a better look at the Autism Ribbon Sandi referenced in her comment "
The autism ribbon features a jig-saw puzzle which reflects the mystery and complexity of Autism Spectrum Disorder. The different colors and shapes represent the diversity of people and families living with Autism. The brightness of the ribbon signals hope--hope thru research and increasing awareness in people who proudly wear it." See, also, 1st EVER Autism Awareness Day....One boy, 3 dogs, 27 years....
