World Autism Awareness Day (April 2nd) aims to shine a light on autism to increase awareness about people and especially children who have autism. There is also hope to develop world knowledge about autism and deliver information on how important it is to detect an early diagnosis.
Autism affects both men and women of all races in all countries. It has an especially large impact on children and is immensely common. This is precisely why raising awareness of autism is essential.

‘Say Yes to Autism Acceptance’ Guide
The “Say Yes to Autism Acceptance” guide includes 10 ways to say yes to Autism Acceptance, which will be available in SuperValu stores throughout World Autism Month in April.
At least 1 in 65 people in Ireland are autistic and nearly 300,000 people have an immediate family member on the autism spectrum. Autistic people are as diverse as the society we live in and are already making contributions to communities across Ireland. World Autism Month is an opportunity to recognise and celebrate the autism community in Ireland and beyond as we create more inclusive communities by expanding knowledge, understanding and acceptance. AsIAm and SuperValu are on a journey to build more inclusive communities across Ireland. Click on the button below to download the guide.
