I know #Arabic much less well, but enough to see that the Arabic name of this day is اليوم العالمي للتوعية بمرض التوحد. The word for awareness is توعية, which is fine, but "autism" is translated as مرض التوحد. The first word مرض there usually means "illness". The Arabic Wikipedia article about autism is called just توحد, without مرض.

The last official United Nations language is #Chinese. The day's name in Chinese is "世界提高自闭症意识日", and I'm sorry, I don't have anything to say about it. If you know Chinese, I'd love to hear your analysis. https://www.un.org/zh/observances/autism-day
