It’s Autism Awareness & Acceptance Month in April and Autism Services of Saskatoon is Celebrating! This is an important month in the autism community as World Autism Awareness Day is April 2 (United Nations declaration) and the City of Saskatoon has proclaimed April as Autism Awareness & Acceptance Month. To raise awareness and promote acceptance of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Autism Services has planned activities and events throughout the month.
