Around the globe, people with autism are making enormous contributions to societies, human endeavours, and individual lives. Today we reflect on those achievements, but we also recognise the significant challenges that remain.
在全球范围内，自闭症患者正为社会、人类事业和个人生活作出巨大贡献。今天，我们回顾这些成就，也认识到依然存在重大挑战。
People with autism often experience isolation, stigma and inequality. They have been denied healthcare and education – especially during crises – and their legal capacity has been unrecognized and over-ridden. Such discrimination contravenes the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, and the Sustainable Development Goals’ commitment to leave no one behind. It must change.
自闭症患者经常遭遇孤立、侮辱和不平等。他们被剥夺卫生保健和教育——尤其是在危机期间——他们的法律能力得不到承认，惨遭无视。这种歧视违背《残疾人权利公约》以及可持续发展目标中不让任何一个人掉队的承诺。这种情况必须改变。
Governments must adopt legislation and policies that guarantee equality and promote the full participation of people with autism in society. We need inclusive health and education systems, work environments, and urban design – to ensure people with autism have equal opportunities to thrive.
各国政府必须通过立法和政策，保障平等，促进自闭症患者充分参与社会。我们需要包容性的医疗和教育系统、工作环境和城市设计——以确保自闭症患者有平等的机会茁壮成长。
On World Autism Awareness Day, let us recommit to create a world where no person with autism is left behind.
值此世界提高对自闭症认识日之际，让我们再次承诺创造一个不让任何一个自闭症患者掉队的世界。
