    Origin of Autistic Pride Day

    The creation of the World Autistic Pride Day, in 2005, has been at the initiative of the Aspies For Freedom Group, a non-profit organization that fights for the rights of autistic people. With this, it intends to achieve positive changes and generate awareness in society about people’s prejudices regarding Autism, adding the efforts of other organizations to commemorate this event.

    What is autism?
