 * 1704 - Tom Brown, satirist of the low life, dies

Please add Autistic Pride Day & Father's Day. --64.229.7.166 16:14, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

The information in the Wikipedia article on Ted Kaczynski indicates the indictment took place in April, not June "A federal grand jury indicted Kaczynski in April 1996, on 10 counts of illegally transporting, mailing, and using bombs. He was also charged with killing Scrutton, Mosser, and Murray.[77]"Eltrace (talk) 13:29, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

The Appeal of 18 June is very historically important and also has today's date in the name, so I would argue that it's worth adding. Would also recommend the addition of Churchill's "Their Finest Hour" speech delivered the same day. DarkLanius (talk) 21:24, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

Please make Autistic Pride Day a regularly celebrated anniversary
Please make it a regularly celebrated anniversary in Wikipedia.

Autism awareness and autism pride isn't same thing. Autism pride stresses on the thing that autistic individuals have right to be ourselves and we do not have to force mask ourselves into a broken version of neurotypicals. We have the infinite potential but for that we need the niche which is accessible for us. We also speak that world needs more of us. We speak against eugenic elimination of genetic diversity. We encourage cognitive diversity. We believe that strength lies in diversity and not in sameness. We say "Nothing about us without us''. We share day to day our experience about hidden disability and how the disability doesn't belong to the affected person but it belongs to an inaccessible world. As a person in the spectrum, I feel these messages are missed or omitted in the autism awareness programs; and both are very different.


 * Now why to spread autism pride? Because awareness is misleading. Awareness often leads to fear about autism. What helps us, is understanding, acceptance and confidence. Yet awareness is a majoritarian (neurotypical) view, funded by neurotypical agencies, governed by mostly neurotypical-led charities. Awareness programs are something about us without us. In contrast, what actually helps us to flourish and expand our potentials, is not promoted by neurotypical authority. It is promoted by our little efforts.

 * this was delisted for having a unreferenced section. Articles in OTD need to be properly referenced.  The section Autistic_Pride_Day is lacking in references for many of the asserted statements.  You, or others, can resolve this by appropriately editing the article.  Once this is done, you may activate this as an edit request by changing   to "no" at the top of this section. Best regards, —  xaosflux  Talk 10:31, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I've excised the unreferenced section (it wasn't very encyclopedic in any case) and cleaned up the article a little. I think the article might pass muster for OTD now, although it might still be a little on the shorter side. —  RAVEN PVFF   · talk · 16:25, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
 * any issues? — xaosflux  Talk 13:46, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
 * (Yes I know this page isn't protected right now - if there are to objections in a day or so its probably fine to re-add now) — xaosflux  Talk 13:58, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Seems fine to me. We certainly have shorter articles. — howcheng  {chat} 23:15, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ as the article is no longer error-tagged, and no objections above. — xaosflux  Talk 10:10, 10 June 2021 (UTC)
 * We've relisted this for the "On this day" section that will appear on the main page. This section acknowledges that an event occurs, and directs readers to the article.  Best regards, —  xaosflux  Talk 10:12, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

Thank you so much
