世界自闭症日

World Autism Awareness Day

Landmarks in Virginia Beach and all throughout Virginia will illuminate blue on the evening of Thursday, April 2 in support of Autism Speaks' global annual Light It Up Blue (LIUB) campaign to commemorate World Autism Awareness Day.

美国弗吉尼亚海滩及整个弗吉尼亚州的标志性建筑会在4月2日的晚上点上蓝灯以支持自闭症代言人机构发起的纪念世界自闭症日的"点亮蓝灯"行动.

文中的World Autism Awareness Day就是"世界自闭症日".自闭症(autism)被归类为一种由于神经系统失调(neurodevelopmental disorder)导致的发育障碍,是广泛性发育障碍(pervasive developmental disorder,PDD)的代表性疾病.

自闭症的概念由美国约翰斯霍普金斯大学(Johns Hopkins University)专家莱奥•坎纳于1943年首次提出.自闭症,医学上也称孤独性障碍(autistic disorder),是一个尚没有被全社会知道、了解的病症.2008年12月联合国大会通过决议:从2008年起,将每年的4月2日定为"世界自闭症日"(World Autism Awareness Day),以提高人们对自闭症和相关研究与诊断以及自闭症患者(autistic)的关注.

自闭症患者看起来跟普通人没什么两样,可是他们存在交流障碍(communication disorder),比如说无法准确表达自己的意愿、语言形式和内容异常、理解能力差等,还常重复一些奇怪的动作.

为了提高人们对自闭症以及自闭症患者的关注,自闭症代言人机构(Autism Speaks)在4月2日发起"点亮蓝灯"(Light It Up Blue ,LIUB)行动,目前全世界自闭症患者数量已达6700万,每160个孩子中就有1个是自闭症患者,他们就在你的身边.
