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.

I've just written this quick thread because I saw an unfortunate translation into Russian, my first native language. I haven't researched more deeply whether Russian autism activists expressed any opinions about it, but I guess that I should.

@aharoni I'm very beginner level in Chinese but it seems pretty straightforward to me 世界 = all over the world 提高 = heighten, raise, enhance 自闭症 = autism 意识 = consciousness, awareness 日 = day
