April 2nd, World Autism Awareness Day! says Carlos (fictitious name). In the last days I've been hearing more and more, he says. April 2nd, World Autism Awareness Day! repeats Joana (fictitious name). I hope they don't come with that bullshit about the all-blue or the puzzles, she continues. What do you think? Of what? asks Carlos quickly. About April 2nd being the World Autism Awareness Day, I add. You already know my opinion, says Carlos. I could tell you that it is important to mark the day, of course! he says. And then? he asks. And then what will happen? he asks again. And before that, what happened? he continues. On Saturday I can stay at home. And that's good for me. That's what I most want to do, he concludes. People seem to take some pleasure in being hypocritical! They don't seem to mind it, she continues. They say things, celebrate things and then forget about them! What's the point? asks Joana. Does that make them feel more relieved? continues. I don't understand, it's strange! concludes. And you, what do you think of the 2nd? asks me Carlos. The same as you, I answer. We all smile.
