Bubble Day 2010

Bubble Day 2010 banner

During April, Autism Awareness month in Australia, Autism Asperger ACT Inc is using the symbolism of bubbles to represent the nature of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). Bubble Day has been designed to help children with ASDs to burst out of their bubble of isolation, and to raise awareness and understanding of autism in school communities. We aim to share knowledge of pervasive developmental disorders with the community.
