When is World Autism Acceptance Month?

World Autism Acceptance Week takes place in April, with World Autism Acceptance Day itself falling on Wednesday 2nd April.

Awareness or acceptance

In previous years, it has been known as World Autism Awareness Week and World Autism Awareness Day. In 2021 the focus shifted from awareness to meaningful acceptance, with the goal of creating inclusive communities. In 2025 the move came to make it World Autism Acceptance Month, celebrating throughout April, rather than just a week.
