I support the month but not the week/day - they're heavily sponsored by Autism Speaks.

I thought April 2nd would be spectacular with fireworks or something. But it was just a regular day.
That's maybe better.

I didn't find out until April 3rd... which is good because I didn't find out about autism speaks until April 3rd as well.
