This year’s World Autism Awareness Day (WAAD) observance, titled Advancing Neurodiversity and the UN SDGs, focuses on the intersection of autism and sustainable development. Through keynote speeches, panel discussions, advocacy highlights, and a fireside chat, the event explores how embracing neurodiversity contributes to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Each session highlights key areas of inclusion — from healthcare and education to employment, urban development, and governance — while centering autistic voices and experiences. The observance champions a world where autistic individuals are recognized as vital contributors to society and are fully included and supported in all aspects of life.

These discussions aim to inspire concrete action and global collaboration in support of a more inclusive, equitable, and sustainable future for all.
