Autism campaigners around the world will be using the power of twitter in support of the 5th annual United Nations World Autism Awareness Day on Monday 2nd April this year. World Autism Awareness Day was launched by the United Nations General Assembly – the event was tabled by the State of Qatar in 2008.

Campaigners are urging people around the world to tweet all day hoping that #worldautismday will trend on twitter.
