First World Autism Awareness Day celebrated

02/04/2008

From now on, April 2nd will be known as World Autism Awareness Day.

The day is being marked globally with education, celebrations and efforts to raise awareness about children with autism throughout society.

For UN staff member Juan-Carlos Brandt and his wife, Jackie Aidenbaum-Brandt, the day has a special meaning, as we hear from UN Radio's Gerry Adams.
