World Autism Day, celebrated on April 2nd each year, is a day dedicated to raising awareness about autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and advocating for the rights and well-being of individuals with autism. It's an opportunity to promote understanding, acceptance, and inclusion of people with autism in all aspects of society. The day also serves as a platform for organizations, communities, and individuals to come together to support autistic individuals and their families.

In 2024, World Autism Day holds particular significance as awareness and understanding of autism continue to evolve. It's a chance to highlight the progress made in supporting individuals with autism, as well as the ongoing challenges they face in accessing education, employment, healthcare, and social acceptance. The Department of Pediatric & Preventive Dentistry, JSSDC&H in association with Special Smiles Oral Care Clinic at JSSDC&H invites all to celebrate this day on 2/4/2024 which would include Educational Lectures for Children with Autism from renowned Clinicians.
