Date:3/27/2009

LONDON, March 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Brookdale Care, the independent provider of residential care services for people living with Autism and other Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD), is inviting MPs and care commissioners to spend a day with residents and staff at four of its residential locations in Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire and North London, as part of a campaign to raise understanding of Autism and ASD in conjunction with World Autism Awareness Day on 2nd April, 2009.

World Autism Awareness Day (WAAD) was first instituted by the United Nations General Assembly in 2007 with the aim of raising awareness about Autism and ASD in every member state. Each year charities and providers of support undertake awareness raising activities around this day.
