Nice move.

I have ASD as does my Daughter though we are both high functioning, we see this "Day" as a bit of a joke.

In my home country they have cut more and more services for those with ASD the publicly owned national news service has no mention of this "Day" but plenty on the "problems" fully able Transgender have and how government needs to fund more for them ( note they don't have a"Day" they get a week).

Most with ASD are not able to speak up for themselves like my daughter and I can, so they get a "Day" that most will ignore as they ignore the needs of those with ASD and other disabilities mostly because the fully abeled body other special interest groups out yell out complain and drown out those with disabilities.
