Autism spectrum disorder now affects 1 in 68 children. Boys are nearly 5 times more likely than girls to be diagnosed with ASD. Autism spectrum disorder is one of the fastest-growing developmental disorders in the United States. ASD is more common than childhood cancer, diabetes and AIDS combined.
The day is represented by a rainbow infinity symbol. This symbol basically represents the infinite possibilities that autistic people have. Autistic Pride Day was initiated by Aspies For Freedom (AFF), a group that raises public awareness about autism rights. It was first celebrated in 2005.
