Weird that noone has mentioned this yet, as far as I can see.

http://autism.about.com/b/2008/03/15/april-2-is-autism-world-awareness-day.htm

http://www.worldautismawarenessday.org/site/c.egLMI2ODKpF/b.3917085/

The only thing I know about it is that it's on this day, April 2, and it was instituted two years ago due to an UN declaration.

Do I get my tank yet?

God, a working and obsolete Soviet T-55 + crates of 100-mm HE and FRAG will do me. They don't even cost anything; they give them away....

World, if you really care, you'll give me my fudging tank already!

i heard a radio ad here encouraging people to have lunches to raise money for World Autism Day.
I heard that the idea is to bring attention to Autism and to raise funds to provide support for autistic children and their parents.

Crap, I'm late to the party!

Wait...never mind! :lol:

The month of April is Autism Awareness Month,
therefore the party continues until April 30th.
