Autism Awareness
yep to day is the last day of the Autism awareness, naturally i waited till the last day but oh well :) this month Autism Spectrum Disorder was also newly categorized as a separate disability, it may not make much sense but it means that people with autism will be categorized differently.
for example, people at the high end of the spectrum can be very smart and highly intellectual, however they also have problems in relationships and social interaction. To get funding or a disability pension you must have a very low IQ. So until now people with Autism have been left out of a lot of government help. Now that it is it's own "type" of disability pensions and funding will be available to them :) yey! slowly Australia is getting to real equality!
