International Asperger's Day is an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of people with Asperger's Syndrome, and show support for people with the condition, their families and carers.

It takes place on February 18, the birthday of Dr Hans Asperger, the physician who defined the Syndrome and whose work has been recognised world wide. 

On this day friends, family and carers of people with Asperger's, support organisations and communities will unite to promote an understanding of Asperger's Syndrome.
