AUTISM AWARENESS<br />

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and<br />

autism are both general terms for<br />

a group of complex disorders of<br />

brain development. These disorders are characterized,<br />

in varying degrees, by difficulties<br />

in social interaction, verbal and nonverbal<br />

communication and repetitive behaviours.<br />

ASD can be associated with intellectual disability,<br />

difficulties in motor coordination<br />

and attention, and physical health issues.<br />

Autism appears to have its roots in very early<br />

brain development. However, the most obvious<br />

signs of autism and symptoms of autism<br />

tend to emerge between two and three years<br />

of age. Studies also show that autism is three<br />

to four times more common among boys<br />

than girls.<br />

More children will be diagnosed with autism<br />

this year than with childhood cancer, juvenile<br />

diabetes or pediatric AIDS combined. ASD affects<br />

an estimated three million individuals<br />

in the U.S. and tens of millions worldwide.<br />

Moreover, government autism statistics suggest<br />

that prevalence rates have increased<br />

10 to 17 per cent annually in recent years.<br />

There is no established explanation for this<br />

continuing increase. It is not known whether<br />

this is due to an increasing rate of the illness<br />

or an increased ability to diagnose the illness,<br />

which has included newer definitions<br />

of autism.<br />

Each individual with autism is unique. Many<br />

of those on the autism spectrum have exceptional<br />

abilities in visual skills, music, math,<br />

art and academic skills. About 40 per cent<br />

have average to above average intellectual<br />

abilities. Indeed, many persons on the spectrum<br />

take deserved pride in their distinctive<br />

abilities and “atypical” ways of viewing the<br />

world. Others with autism have significant<br />

disabilities and are unable to live independently.<br />

About 25 per cent of individuals with<br />

ASD are nonverbal but can learn to communicate<br />

using other means.<br />

The overall mission of autism organizations<br />

is to support people affected by autism and<br />

their families to improve the lives of those on<br />

the autism spectrum. For some, this means<br />

the development and delivery of more effective<br />

treatments that can address significant<br />

challenges in communication and physical<br />

health. For others, it means increasing acceptance,<br />

respect and support.<br />

Throughout its history, the <strong>United</strong> <strong>Nations</strong><br />

family has promoted the human rights and<br />

well-being of people with disabilities. In<br />

that spirit, the world should recognize<br />

the courage of children and adults with<br />

autism as they confront their challenges<br />

with determination, creativity and hope.<br />

Let us empower them and respond to their<br />

needs today, so as to make our societies<br />

more accessible and fulfilling for all<br />

people tomorrow.<br />

Depuis sa création, le système des<br />

<strong>Nations</strong> Unies s’emploie à promouvoir<br />

les droits de l’homme et le bien-être des<br />

personnes handicapées. À cet égard, il<br />

importe de reconnaître dans le monde<br />

entier le courage dont font preuve les<br />

enfants et adultes autistes, qui surmontent<br />

leur handicap avec détermination,<br />

créativité et espoir. Favorisons leur<br />

autonomie et répondons à leurs besoins<br />

dès à présent afin que, demain, nos<br />

sociétés permettent l’intégration et<br />

l’épanouissement de chacun.<br />

Seit ihrem Bestehen fördern die Vereinten<br />

Nationen das Wohl und die Rechte von<br />

Menschen mit Behinderungen. In diesem<br />

Geiste sollte die Welt den Mut autistischer<br />

Kinder und Erwachsener anerkennen,<br />

die ihren täglichen Herausforderungen<br />

mit Entschlossenheit, Kreativität und<br />

Hoffnung entgegentreten. Indem wir<br />

heute diese Menschen stärken und auf<br />

ihre Bedürfnisse eingehen, schaffen wir<br />

eine Gesellschaft der Zukunft, die allen<br />

Menschen Möglichkeiten und Erfüllung<br />

bietet.<br />
