So the English name is "World Autism Awareness Day". This is less awful than the Russian name "the problem of autism", although many #ActuallyAutistic people suggest changing "awareness" in the English name to "acceptance" or "inclusion".

The #Spanish name is "Día Mundial de Concienciación sobre el Autismo". According to Wiktionary, "Concienciación" is the "act of raising awareness", so I guess that it's a reasonable translation of the English name. https://www.un.org/es/observances/autism-day

@aharoni and also there is the same debate in French about the name (so yeah, I would say it's a good translation in this context XD) https://piaille.fr/@CLE_autistes/116335228336271140
